“As of the most convenient mediums to capture reality, photography sometimes moves a step beyond it and takes us on a journey to the unknown. Ilka Kramer does just that, creating unearthly scenes that question our perception of landscapes.”

“In a time where we lose direct contact with nature, we accede to it only by the view.”

Portraits of NYC Subway Strangers as an Animals by Matthew Grabelsky

"Grabelsky’s works depict couples on subways, often nonchalantly reading magazines or newspapers, but the male figures in these dyads are strange, quasi-mythological human hybrids with animal heads. Deer, bears, elephants, tigers, and everything in between, make a suited appearance in rush hour. By contrasting the platitudes of the day-to-day with the presence of the extraordinary and unlikely, Grabelsky stages the unexpected within the most unassuming of circumstances." via ThinkSpace Gallery

Colour Hunter Ramin Nasibov

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.”
