We love Peechaya's minimalistic approach to create perfectly balanced image every time she has a new idea often spiced by some double meanings.
“My photographs mainly consist of things that I create or manipulate by hand. Occasionally I use Photoshop when enhancing the idea and presentation of an image fits well. Driven by childhood memories and very much fascinated by children’s imagination and their quirkiness, the direction of my photography is light, easy to approach with a little touch of everyday optimism.”

Following the recent publication in the Guardian we reveal our latest favourite Instagram photographer and Berlin-based designer Ramin Nasibov.
“Berlin-based graphic designer Ramin Nasibov began photographing hidden patterns in buildings after he noticed pockets of colour hiding among the city’s grey skyline. “You won’t believe it, but colourful architecture can be found in any city,” he says. “Even the most well-known architectural sight can be shown from an absolutely new corner.” Originally from Baku, Azerbaijan, Nasibov cites the crisp and striking aesthetic of Wes Anderson as an inspiration. “The three key properties for me are minimalism, symmetry and vibrant colours. Capturing these elements allows people to see old buildings from a new perspective.”

"The hustle and bustle of the city somehow seems to become more beautiful when the sun goes down.Photographer Liam Wong experienced this firsthand and decided to capture the night time in Tokyo with the power of his lens. The just rained-on streets reflect the bright lights leaving a surreal quality to his work. Using a green or pink tone, the lights appear to be completely ingrained in the city’s atmosphere. Each photo offers a different perspective on the city, whether it be a detail shot of the city’s people or a bird’s eye view of the streets."
