Fernanda Tricoli

Fernanda Tricoli is a brazilian photographer based in São Paulo. She works mainly on advertising and editorial, publishing her photos under names like Editora Abril, Globo and Condé Nast. Among advertising pieces for clients like Havaianas, Claro, Fiat and Liz, some of them earned Lions at Cannes through huge brazilian agencies.

She started her studies here in Brazil but continued it in Paris and London, what gave her a very pretty sight over art. This can be seen not only in her commercial works, but mainly in the personal ones, like “Bonecas de Paris” (Paris Dolls).

Take some time and navigate through every aspect of her work, it worths the time invested.

Sidenote: Section “Publicidade / Advertising”, on corresponding portuguese or english version generates an XML error and the pictures couldn’t be load for us here on Google Chrome @ Windows 8. But goes ok on Firefox.

Out Cold, commuters in NYC subway

Patrick Witty is the international picture editor of TIME Magazine. One day in late March, out of nowhere, he snapped a picture of a lady caught on a deep sleep in the New York subway while going to work. He did the same next day and, without realizing, started a series about commuters in the subway, published on his Instagram account.

Going to 60 snapped & published pictures, Patrick tells this is “a testimony to the subway’s diversity and individuality”, also revealing not all characters are asleep. “They are looking down, lost in their phones or tablets. And I’m doing exactly the same thing. So they are self-portraits in some ways”.

The fancy façades of Luigi Bonaventura

Behind the Edge is a series by photographer Luigi Bonaventura, showcasing fancy crops of architecture in Jesolo Beach, in the province of italian city of Venice.

The crops, according to the photographer, takes you away from the reality and near to what the architects imagined, the Platonic ideal. No distracting elements around, just the repetition of patterns.

It’s interesting to walk with the eyes around each image and see what specifically breaks the symmetry, like reflections and shadows.
