'Prawns Chic' – Seafood meets costume jewelry in this personal project by photographer Magnus Meier-Röbke
"A creepy yet humorous still-life series about the power of the shrimp. The series title, 'Prawns Chic,' alludes to the 'porn chic' fashion trend of the 90s, famously associated with brands like Gucci under Tom Ford." – Magnus Meier-Röbke, Photographer

'There's more to the story' – Alexandrena Parker photographed a portrait campaign and directed for the global pharmaceutical player Vertex
Cystic fibrosis is a congenital, hereditary metabolic disorder that causes extremely viscous mucus to build up in the organs. A genetic defect in the CFTR gene disrupts the salt and water balance of the body's cells. Secretion-producing glands release too little water, causing bodily secretions to become sticky and thick rather than thin and fluid.
Alexandrena Parker photographed the images shown here on gosee.news for Vertex.
This disease is a cause close to Alexandrena Parker’s heart, as she is personally affected by it. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning...

FUTUR group exhibition at the former Potsdam military casino, in collaboration with the Paris-based collective LeWonder
... what happens when the visions we have relied on no longer hold up? When progress appears less like a promise and more like an abyss?

In collaboration with the Paris-based collective Le Wonder, the exhibition brings together artistic positions that do not predict the future, but rather examine the ways in which we perceive it. Shaping the future together seems impossible. Yet, through the work of Fred...
Driving the Giulia and Stelvio along the Amalfi Coast – and switching to the wheel of a 1950s Giulietta along the way: Alfa Romeo is the automotive partner of the “Anantara Grand Tour of Europe”. The new travel concept by Anantara Hotels & Resorts revives the legendary Grand Tours of the 18th century, combining European culture, exceptional hotels and some of the continent’s most beautiful roads with Italian driving culture.
At the heart of the experience are the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio, taking guests from one Anantara hotel to the next. The journey itself is very much part of the experience: winding coastal roads, historic cities, architecture and spectacular landscapes replace the conventional transfer from A to B.
