Out of Darkness by Estonian artist Merilyn

Estonian artist Merilyn (a.k.a. Naturalshocks) has an elegant collection of dark portraits (mostly of Benedict Cumberbatch) with subtle highlights. Her drawings have beautiful lighting and resemble a fade-in effect, and they were made with a white coloured pencil and grey pastel on black paper. via

Everybody Street

"Everybody Street" illuminates the lives and work of New York’s iconic street photographers and the incomparable city that has inspired them for decades. The documentary pays tribute to the spirit of street photography through a cinematic exploration of New York City, and captures the visceral rush, singular perseverance and at times immediate danger customary to these artists.
