Digital Romantics by Mads Perch

Mads Perch is a wonderful master of light. He not only photographs sensual portraits beautifully, but also can manipulate projections with finesse. Working mostly as a commercial photographer, Perch together with art director Gemma Fletcher has become used to producing unfussy images quickly and efficiently. He has a sensitive style that would have no problem fitting in with the digital romantics.

This is a genre where artists are harnessing digital technologies in their search for the sublime: representing manifestations of Romanticism in the digital.

Dom Sebastian

Dom Sebastian is a 19 year old London based designer. I personally liked his glitchy "Holographic Melt Series" "It’s not very often that you find a fashion designer who branches out into other fields within the creative spectrum and conquers them all. Dom Sebastian is a master of graphic design, art and music as well as fashion design. Each artistic practice inspiring his bold and unique designs" - P I T C H Zine

Paris Views by Gail Albert Halaban

"New York-based photographer Gail Albert Halaban first began peering into people's windows many years ago, and her fascination with the public versus the private in urban life inspired a voyeuristic photo project and then a book, Out My Window, in fall 2012. It caught the eye of Cathy Remy, photo editor for Le Monde's M magazine, who invited Halaban to take her show on the road to Paris a few weeks later. The initial process went the same in Europe as it did in New York, with a few exceptions: Remy and Halaban found participants through Facebook, friends of friends, and word of mouth, and all gave permission in advance, though reactions toward the nature of the shoot were a bit polarizing."

I LOVE UGLY's Studio

Highsnobiety Magazine visited menswear label studio I LOVE UGLY in terms of their Highsnobiety Visits. We are pretty jealous of them having the experience to meet people of the label and take awesome photos of their space. "Based in Mount Eden, New Zealand, the primarily black space has been home to ILU for three and a half years and perfectly reflects the feel and style of the brand – the black walls are also present throughout all their flagship stores. Originally the building was used as a shared creative space, housing several different artists and other creative agencies. To encourage collaboration, the workspace is fairly open in an effort to promote the sharing of ideas. However, the design and marketing departments are segregated from the rest of the business, and every month or two they switch everything around to promote fresh thinking."

Photo Manipulations by Joseph Alexander

LA-based photographer Joseph Alexander creates impressive images with a strong emphasis on photo manipulation and retouching. Joseph explores androgyny and intersexual themes - not only gender but also something more of an inter-species. He again uses negative space, simple composition and lots of colour. via

A Renovated Blacksmith's Warehouse

This stunning old blacksmith's warehouse has been converted with lots of light wood, bright white walls and concrete floor. It's the second home of Dorte Mandrup-Poulsen and two other Danish architects (Louis Becker and Jens Thomas Arnfred). “It’s important when you convert an old building to be careful not to remove the soul of what was there. If everything is renewed, it becomes too perfect,” Dorte says. Therefore they preserved the blacksmith equipment, like the traditional iron stove, old metal tables and the original iron windows, which are among her favorite features because they frame the seaside views throughout the home. Imperfections tell the history of this home.

Burning Man 2014 Moments by Trey Ratcliff

Embrace was a 72 ft wooden, cathedral-like sculpture of two human figures, “in celebration of all our relationships”. The site-specific artwork was created by the Pier Group for Burning Man 2014.It was the largest project to date for the Pier Group, which gained acclaim for its previous Burning Man installations The Pier, Pier 2, and the Ichthyosaur Puppet Project. Crews began construction on Embrace in October 2013 at the Generator community art space in Reno, and in studios in Vancouver and Portland. During this year’s festival the massive wooden sculpture was set aflame and Trey Ratcliff was on hand to capture the incredible moment. Below you can see what the interactive sculpture looked like before it was burned. You can also see a video tour of the interior here.
