“Delicate, beautiful, temporary”,
this is how Australian artist Thomas Edmondson describes his images. Inspired by “darkness, nature and calmness”, the photographer showcases on Instagram a collection of pictures straight out of the world of dreams. A most soothing account.

By manipulating her – often out-of-date – film rolls, the Italian photographer Camilla Schmitt experiments with her shots. Never far from the sea, and through her colourful compositions, she captures upside down, split and sometimes dislocated figures.
