European Photography – No.114 💛

Absolutely loving the image on this cover created by Durham based artist Craig Ames using AI. It’s just one image from his reinterpretation of Ed Ruscha Twentysix Gasoline Stations, originally photographed along the legendary American highway Route 66. Using simple text prompts these fascinating yet imperfect images are created.

Fraulein – Issue 36 Fantasy 💚

“Children’s imaginations are limitless. Unfortunately through socialization, they are taught to rein it in. We tell children who want to become astronauts or soccer players early on that they have to find another dream because that’s unrealistic. We reject fantasy because we want people who conform to the system”

This issue delves into the idea of fantasy and imagination and features work by some incredible artists, stunning fashion shoots and thought provoking articles.
