A Day With Dan Boiski and Ben Green

Somehow I missed this edit and even though it’s just about a month old, I still think it deserves a post. Like the title says, this is an edit documenting a day with S&M’s Ben Green and United’s Dan Boiski, filmed by Robin Fenlon and what I’m assuming is a Canon 5D. The guys start [...]

There’s not much info out there about Shirakawa, but I was able to track down some of his work, mostly photos he’s shot for Monocle. His photos have great poise and really complement the Monocle feel and judging by the quality of his [...]

To go along with the launch of the site, Craig put together a great edit featuring the Emulsure team. Along with videos and a team, the site also showcases some of Craigs photography. [...]
