EK Interview: Shae Detar
Shae Detar‘s photography portrays the world she wishes to see. Borrowing from the surreality of nature, Shae paints photographs in brilliant pastels, making work that is visually stunning. Her models are predominantly naked, taking the photographs out of time, and giving them an other worldly sensation that, to quote Goldilocks, is just right. Check out…
EK Interview: Evelyn Bencicova
Evelyn Bencicova‘s photography is at once unnerving and beautiful in its symmetry, it makes a mockery of the human ability to over indulge cooperation. Her colors, whether brilliant red or quiet gray, pop out of the photograph, screaming into your eyes at the speed of light, but seemingly faster. My, oh my is her work…

EK Interview: Uchujin – Adrian Storey
Adrian Storey is an alien. He’s been traveling the world for the past decade and a half and as raw and uncompromising as his photography is, his words are possibly more-so. Honest about his successes, failings, frustrations, and appreciations, this is an interview to learn from. This isn’t romanticism; this is the truth, brutal, and…
Shae DeTar Part II
Fashion photographer Shae DeTar is an EK-favorite of ours. Her photos are original, hand colored, and beautifully composed scenes out of a daydream. Using an age old practice of hand painting negatives that dates back to the early 1900, she resurrects this traditional technique in her photography.

EK Interview: Adrien Lacheré
Adrien Lacheré has traveled the world as a photographer. His work focuses on the human condition, and much of it, though not all, addresses the violence in parts of our culture with a sort of nonchalance that brings it to a very human level, that makes it relatable. Originally from France, here we present you his…
EK Interview: Chris Sisarich
Chris Sisarich is a phenomenal photographer. All of his work haunting, it has a quiet mystery to it. I want to see it in person. No, I want to stare at in person. I think I might fall in. Which I wouldn’t really mind. Read his interview:
Ashlie Chavez
Ashlie Chavez is a photographer currently based out of Los Angeles, California who is the twin sister of Amber Marie Chavez (coincidentally previously featured back in July 2011). The Chavez twins collaborate regularly on projects where their individual styles stand apart from each other.

How are those qualities reflected in the stigmas society attributes to feminine and masculine form?

EK Interview: Anton Kusters
Anton Kusters is a badass, a humble and super down to earth badass but really, there is no better kind. To me, he is an anthropologist expressing his research through photography. He was featured in 2011 as well as on our EK Top 100 Artists of 2011, for his epic two year project with the…
