Kristina Podobed is the only one photographer who will tell you the truth: her project has been born out of boredom.

How can you not grow up tough being from a project town? I identify with her as well, being from a tough country, Ukraine. Aritists always create their reflection in a way I guess. more information and pictures

With the help of prisms and crystals, his images capture a universe full of contrasts: color photographs hit on dense black and white works, life and death. The sublime and the hidden clash abruptly. more information and pictures
