Photos: Tattoo Envy at Geisha Ink

Got major tattoo envy when I passed by the Geisha Ink exhibit at Kee club last night. New York-based photographer Reka Nyari showcased her portraits of Akuma Suicide, who was dressed fully in her own intricately detailed tattoos. Hold your breath for more beauty after the jump…

Portfolio: Karina Illovska | Photographer

12 28Karina Illovska is a talented and humble photographer I met in Sydney, who captures the most beautiful images from her travels. While she also takes portraits, home and wedding photos, it is these photos that I feel really capture the “beauty of observing.”

Check out more photos from her portfolio (a mix of photos from her trips to Ghana, India, and Japan) after the jump…Continue reading “Portfolio: Karina Illovska | Photographer”

We saw the exhibit of photographer Annie Leibovitz at the ArtScience Museum. It was a great peek into the personal and professional life of this renowned woman through her photos. (Seriously, this whole exhibit makes you want to up your Instagram game.)

Creative-in-progress. That’s how I think of Onin Lorente from Style-Anywhere. I met Onin here in Singapore when I first moved around 2 1/2 years ago. I was so inspired by the rise of his website that I knew I had to interview him. (Here is a link to the article.)

I’m biased when it comes to Chuck Reyes. Maybe because I’ve known him for the last ten years, or maybe because he’s always over at our apartment playing PS3. I suppose the benefit of knowing a creative more personally, and not just through Instagram, is that I get a glimpse of what he’s really working on. Despite him being rather low key on social media, his iPad is filled with amazing editorials and test shoots that make me want to brag for him.

His work as a photographer always continues to impress me. I’ve seen his eye grow the past few years, from him living in Manila to LA to now Singapore. (Here’s an article I wrote about him a few years back). He’s been on a journey that I leads him to continually sharpen his eye; His simple, yet polished style, leaves no detail to chance. Take a look and you’ll see what I mean.
