I love it when two different art forms come together to create something unique and outstanding. By combining macro photography with illustrations, Indian artist Vimal Chandran creates charming stories of a character he named “Yellow Girl.”
Vogue Italia “helps the environment” by featuring no photos in its latest issue
Climate change is one of the burning issues in our society, and many photographers are doing what they can to raise awareness about it.

The latest issue of the popular fashion magazine features no photos whatsoever, and it caused mixed reactions in the community.
Meet Jimmy Choo: The The World’s Most Photogenic Bull Terrier
Someone much more clever than myself once said, “When life gives you lemons, squeeze the juice into a watergun and shoot everyone in the eyes.” Or, at least something along those lines. The point is, sometimes life deals you a rough hand, you just have to make the best of it. For Rafael Mantesso, that meant turning his empty, white apartment into a creative stomping ground for himself and his dog, Jimmy Choo.
You see, on Mantesso’s thirtieth birthday, his wife decided to leave him. It wasn’t what you would call an even split. She took everything inside the apartment. Cookware, furniture, decor–all of it went with her, leaving only an empty apartment and a bull terrier for Rafael. Seeing the freshly empty space as a blank canvas, Mantesso began noticing his artistic drive and inspiration to return. He used all he had left–a blank apartment, his dog, and a camera–and let his imagination carry him.
Sofia Monsters is a Fun Project Raising Awareness of the City’s Problems
Many people would like to see certain things change in their city. Maybe encourage modernization or perhaps slow it down; promote new policies or change existing ones.
While most will settle for signing an online petition or ranting on social media, a couple of young artists from Sofia have taken a fun approach to raising awareness of the causes near and dear to them.
Sofia Monsters is an amusing series that gets the message across without taking itself too seriously.
