Margaret Zhang on the secrets of creative success by Hunger

_______
Margaret Zhang is an Australian-born-Chinese director, photographer, consultant and writer based between New York and Shanghai.
She models, styles, writes, directs in front and back of cameras, made her film debut – There’s no Space in C # Minor – in which she plays the piano brilliantly.

_______
She also earned double degrees in commerce and law and is widely recognized as one of the most influential millenial – though she is not fond of the naming..

_______
Her intelligence and depth of thought have comforted me while going through a tough spot in my art career:
“That’s near impossible when you bare your soul, nake and vulnerable in an oversaturated and harsh terrain of judgment.”

_______

To all the artists who dedicate their efforts – resources – dreams – LIFE to making this world more beautiful! Don’t give up – no matter what – the world needs you.

_______

ndlr: Today is International Artist Day and to celebrate it yearlong – I have kicked off a new category on Netdiver: ART!
Predicted years ago that we were embarking in the ‘age of images’ meaning that our communication currency would become exclusively visual. Marco Simonetti did a photographic essay on that topic.


_______
The only way to ‘decipher’ what the image is about is by capturing its Q-R-Code. If you don’t – you (and I) will judge the ‘story’ based on our subjective sensibilities and values.
Take time to view the project. Isn’t this a brilliant social essay?




Volker Lammers is an international photographer based in Germany – with an extravagant minimalist style.


_______
His scope of projects is quite impressive and dare I say – somewhat recognizable in his unfailing flair for visual esthetics and staging compositions. I actually would live in those spaces.




Certainly one of the best photographer I have discovered. Bernard Touillon sensitivity to high contrast (light) and compositions are striking. Must see!




Pastel university? Why not! Exceptionally captured by Ludwig Favre – a Fine Art Photographer.


_______
He specializes in major cities and landscapes – architectural assignments as well as personal projects and philanthropy.


_______
Excellent interview to read (and more photos to see) on Bricks magazine.

Sing-Sing teamed up with Sagmeister & Walsh to design and shoot this new campaign for Aizone, with wild optical illusions, and the best crew in the world.

_______
Gotta love the high contrast colors of flat 2D meets 3D staging decor. Ohlala the eccentricity of it all.
