Ricor is one of our favorite photographers and she’s having an exposition you can’t miss. Okay it’s in Taiwan so that might be a little off course, but at least read the interview we had with her on CFYE.com.

“I (Alyssa Noches) have, and always will be, riveted and compelled by the tactile sense of individual feeling and the passion and sadness of human emotion.  We not only exist, but seem to leave behind a glimmer of ephemeral dust, a transient trail, that only a camera’s quick snap can freeze. The slightest brush of [...]

Kayleigh Jordan is a third year photography student at the Leeds College of Art but originally hailing from South Africa. In the country who’s hosting the worldcup is where her passion for photography began. She has spent the last three years shooting digitally. “However, I have found my work returning to its roots by shooting on 35mm and experimenting with different films. My recent trips over the summer have inspired my next project which begins in September when I travel to America. I will be documenting all the weird and wonderful things America has to offer and updating it daily onto a blog.” Until then she’s completing a couple portraiture projects and shooting whatever she comes across.

Exploitation of chance effect, these lights will inspire you. Entering a untapped realm, the imaginary of the subconsciouness comes above. I got love for his work. More love for the person behind the lens, not just any talented photographer, but my very own boyfriend.

I have many talented friends, Pinta is one of them. He is a very versatile photographer, who started off with a disposable camera.

Aeschleah (ash-lee-uh) was born April 10, 1984 in a small town called Twain Harte, CA. In 1999, she moved to Los Angeles with her father. She made art from the time she could pick up a crayon, but she didn’t discover her undying passion for photography….

We came across some of his work and instantly fell in love. All of his images are looking like movie stills from classic films and all have that soothing glowing serene feel.On his website you can download several small amazing photobooks, I really recommend that!

“I was walking past initially and there he was, not busking, dancing facing the wall, carrying his plastic shopping bag. His IPOD no doubt filling his head with the beat. Wearing powder blue jeans & jacket with a plastic Stetson in tiger strip colours….
So I got as close as I could without disturbing him and [...]

Make up, hair and styling is done by Lisa Schuil.

Happy new year everyone! A bit late, but we all wish you an amazing, creative and productive 2010! I don’t think we’ve posted this yet; The Boston Globe traditionally ends the year by recapping it in photography. Again the selection this year is amazing, horrific and sometimes realer then life. Check it out at the [...]

Robin Cracknell’s photographic works are suggestive and dreamy. There are thematic consistencies of longing and sincerity, focusing on the transience of childhood in which young isolated figures play prominent. Robin encourages the scratches and blemishes of the images, working with film only and making the photographs breathe traditional, weathered sentences. The images live harmoniously with [...]

Get out of a photo rut, construct a photo mural, make a photo chandelier, create (temporary) photo tattoos, attach a camera to your dog, break the ice at parties with your camera, make a tripod from a bottlecap, craft your own snow globes and photo ornaments, sew a photo messenger bag, wallet, and laptop sleeve [...]

“Earlier this year I realized we would celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. I went back into my archive and discovered that I had boxes full of negatives that I had never seen before, taken in East Germany over the past 50 years It was a treasure which had to [...]

If I had to describe Tang Chan’s work in one word I would say: distance. Even though she shoots portraits most of the time, there is a certain space between the viewer and the subject in her work. I stumbled upon her through a shuttercrack submission and fell instantley in love with her portfolio. You [...]

It’s been a while since we saw this kind of (fashion) photography so well executed. MiliMalinovic knows how to create a harsh but dreamy setting and mood with his work.
“Photography is a reflection of the most important things in my life. The dreams that I have, I try to capture them in my photos.”
You can [...]

A impressive short serie from ro_buk.

Almost a year after the first test issue the second issue of crack magazine is a fact. The CFYE brand and network has expanded during this year beyond our imagination, and we’ve only just begun. This issue (digital only) is put together by our good friend and respected designer Meneer de Zwart, who had the [...]

Police frisk a man as they search for drugs and weapons in the Morro do Adeus slum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Sunday, Oct. 18, 2009. Brazilian officials are insisting security won’t be a problem for the 2016 Olympics, despite drug-gang violence that plunged Rio into a day of chaos just two weeks after it [...]

I was instantly drawn to the sensuality (and sexuality) of these female portraits by Maciek Wójcik. The young Poland-based artist has a special eye to show us his love-affair with analog photography.

The very talented and regular shuttercrack contributor Ana Himes (Flickr / portfolio website) did an exhibition in Espacio Tangente in the Spanish city of Burgos with here “Traces In” serie.  Ana draws a curious sociological portrait through photographs of forgotten or abandoned objects in vehicles. More images of the show right here.

Am in love with this series of the Spanish(?) photographer argijale called Immigrant.  He captures the exact right feeling of all these people moving trough the airport. It reminds me a bit of the movie ‘the Terminal’ , but maybe that’s because I like to be reminded of that one. Unfortunately we can’t embed the [...]

The pictures were made on a foggy Sunday in September by me (Martin Kappler), while hiking upwards from the town of Vilters, Switzerland, through mostly forested terrain, often not following any paths just straight up. The person visible is my friend Marc. We crossed about five totally different types of forestland, reached the treeline and [...]

The search for a dialogue with the landscape is a topic running through most of Aleix Plademunt’s work. As in the series “Espactadors” in which the Spanish photographer through the installation of allegorical audiences on a large scale shows the need to return our gaze on what surround us and, therefore, to establish a new [...]

Stung Meanchey Municipal Waste Dump is located in southern Phnom Penh, in a district of the city of the same name, Stung Meanchey. The dump itself covers about 100 acres, or almost 6 hectares. It is flanked by private property on which rubbish pickers build makeshift huts and are charged extortionate rents by landowners. Roughly [...]

Many of the villages in Crete are gradually emptying. As the old die so the houses seem to get locked up and left to slowly decay. I’m sure that the reasons are varied. The young seem to see no worth in such houses and I guess have to go where the work is. The towns [...]

“Liberum” Photography or “Free Subject” Photography is based on the notion that photography can be as free and expressive as painting, sculpture or any other art form that doesn’t limit the artist (photographer) to only capture what is physically in-front of them. Instead it gives the photographer the freedom to project expression in any color, [...]

Since the beginning of shuttercrack I was amazed by the images that *爱菲淋*雨 brings to the world. His work contains so much serenity and mystery that I can keep looking at it for days! I want to highlight his Quiescent set, that in his own words is all about: calm, motionless, not moving, still stirless, [...]
