Beautiful Bangkok: Traveling in Thailand
Beautiful Bangkok
Traveling in Thailand
Welcome to Thailand, the beautiful, natural, and sometimes even mysterious kingdom in Southeast Asia. Travellers who find their way to the country formerly known as Siam can experience groundbreaking hospitality, amazing landscapes, and wonderful people. Thailand has been a marvelous paradise ever since, with its very own peculiarities, dangers, and curiosities. Photographer Duran Levinson, who recently worked for VICE, Red Bull, and BMW, went to Thailand to capture the young and old faces of the Asian country, the colorful nightlife…

Keiichi Nitta: Everyday Is Like A Sunday
Keiichi Nitta
Everyday Is Like A Sunday
As a passionate protégé of potentially scandalous photographer Terry Richardson, Keiichi Nitta, born in 1975 in the Japanese capital of Tokyo, enjoyed what we might call an alternative education in the midst of a boozy microverse dominated by sex, drugs and rock music. So it's no wonder that he continues to tread along the path of his master even after finishing his studies, combining his work with Far Eastern flair and creating from it the skillful composition of perfectly shot photos, familiar faces blessed with beauty by nature an…

Nathan Whipple: Doggies At Night

Doggies At Night
While you're doing everything you can at night to fill your head with happy thoughts as quickly and cheaply as possible, Nathan Whipple, who doesn't know him, has found a completely different favorite pastime that he joyfully engages in as soon as the sun goes down: He photographs dogs - and posts his collected masterpieces on his blog the morning after. After all, unlike cats, who would eat you alive with hunger if given the chance, dogs are truly loyal. Once they've chosen a master or mistress, they remain loyal to him or her - unt…

Berlin Art Week: Art makes me angry
Berlin Art Week
Art makes me angry
I'm standing in front of a wall. It's large and bright and largely empty. Only two framed pictures hang on it. I look at them with concentration. On them are a few little stick figures. They just stand there. Staring back. In the corner a sun, on the ground some grass, everything's black and white. The one next to it doesn't offer much more adventurous experience either. The gallery owner sits bored on a wooden chair, typing away on her iPad. Around me, connoisseurs, patrons and buyers buzz. And I just want to scream. Art makes me an..

Fuck It: Party in Africa
Fuck It
Party in Africa
Photographer Michele Sibiloni, whose work has been featured in prestigious publications such as the New York Times, Wired and Vogue, was born in Parma and now lives in East Africa. A few years ago he began documenting the nightlife of Kampala, the capital of Uganda. "A Peace Corps worker referred to Kabalagala, the most lovingly filthy bar district of Kampala, as Tijuana on LSD," Michele tells us. "In his story, he described how a couple of girls in a bar tried to seduce him and his girlfriend while showing them photos…

Daily Portrait: Nude in Berlin
Daily Portrait
Nude in Berlin
With almost four million inhabitants, Berlin is the largest city in the Federal Republic of Germany. So theoretically, it would take you around 10,000 years to photograph every single one of them, assuming you only take one photo per day. Is that too complicated, have you already fallen asleep? Okay, then I'll explain it to you differently. Martin Gabriel Pavel from Prague has brought his heart project Daily Portrait to the German capital. Every day a Berliner is supposed to photograph another more or less naked. Martin photographs E…

Another Girl Another Planet: The Secret Life of Young Girls
Another Girl Another Planet
The Secret Life of Young Girls
Although I'm a girl myself, who would have thought that, like, obviously, I can't get enough of peeking into other and somehow strangely mysterious lives of different young girls. Especially into those of the very creative and alternative and special ones, the ones who, by their very existence, make this planet a better one. Valerie Phillips is not only a very talanted photographer but also someone who pretty much only shoots what I like to look at. Primarily girls being girls. They laugh and they dance and they're not ashamed of any…

World of Knights and Zombies
I understand you. I really do. This world we live in right now is boring. Extremely boring. You have your job, your wife, your kids, your video games, your fast food. But deep in your heart, you want to have an adventure. Fight for something you really love. Discover new galaxies, new universes. Find gold, find monsters, find honor. I understand you. I really do. Photographer Boris Leist studied social science and German studies and now follows people who are part of the global live role-playing movement. What is this now, you may be…

Girls in Hamburg: An Evening With Chrissi
Girls in Hamburg
An Evening With Chrissi
I met Chrissi for the first time after she got off work that day. We hit it off right away. Hoping that during the week there will be hardly anything going on and we can move freely, we drove to a park. The sun was already low when we got there. However, this left us very little time to take pictures. So after saying hello to each other thirty minutes before, Chrissi and I jumped right into the field and took advantage of the last rays of sunlight. I love the golden hues and the delicate play of shadows in the pictures. It may sound…

Last Nights Party: Berlin Loves You
Last Nights Party
Berlin Loves You
Our favorite New York photographer Merlin Bronques paid a visit to the German capital for a few days and jumped into the fray armed with his camera and several bottles of Club Mate. During the day, he roamed Mauerpark, made a detour to the Spree River, and then strutted through Kreuzberg. In the evening, of course, it was off into the depths of nightlife, through the clubs, backyards, bedrooms. Some call it mainstream-toursimus, others vibe-gathering at its best. What else the former musician experienced on his little trip to Berlin…
