Instagram selection #218

The fictional power of photography is no myth. Neither is its revealing prowess. This Instagram selection #218 is the perfect example of such strength, and will guide you through imaginary limbo.

From Berlin, Kolja Eckert is particularly fond of portraiture. Her knowledge of depth and subtle scenography highlight her subjects. While beauty is a subjective notion, there is no question she is searching it.

Lukas Vasilikos has been a photographer since 2006 and is based in Athens, Greece. When is does not capture social issues – he has documented the Greek crisis – he photographs the streets. A dark and elegant introspection.

@joakkin_street

We do not know much about Spanish artist Joakkin. In his street pictures, he likes to play with contrasts, nuances and silhouettes. The light in his images reveals as much as hides things. A form of roaming opening the door to interpretation, and, at the same time, to fictional imagery.
