A perfect mademoiselle by Rogério Mesquita
I’m loving the simplicity and pureness of the editorial by Rogerio Mesquita featured in the fifth edition of Schön! Magazine
Aline Weber, photographed by Rogério for the cover of American Elle magazine, described him as “very dear person and a great professional.” and she is absolutely right.
The incredible talent of this Brazilian artist speaks throughout his phenomenal and...

Kaleidoscope of Possibility: Steve Wilson
Vibrant, psychedelic colours bleed sloppily to create delightful pictures. Misshapen human faces melt and deform into oozing portraits. Imagery concealed within a makeup of gloop, revealing concealed details and new dimensions with each glance. If you happened to miss issue 4 of Schön! Magazine, then you may have also overlooked one of Britain’s most deliciously original illustrators, Mr...

Telepathic Photography: Alexander James
Exceptional photography can have phenomenal affects on the human mind. It can work as a catalyst and trigger a surge of inspirational feelings, or conversely it has the ability to act as an almost telepathic medium – plucking images from the subconscious, manipulating memories, and in the most effective examples, alter our mood.

His name’s Lionel Deluy; you can type that in any search engine and get a slew of information from numerous sources,...

Freud and the Creative Mind: Lou Ros
I’m a big fan of the macabre. I don’t know what Freud would say about my deep affection for horror films and literature, or whether my personal tastes shed any light on my lenient childhood. An analyst would probably tell me that I secretly – or subconsciously - want to sleep with my closest female relative. Perhaps the easiest explanation as to why I like these things is...

Optical Leverage: Dan Stafford
In any field of creativity, with thousands of rivals and peers all sweating their souls into their work, the only hope of gaining recognition is by standing out. Originality survives in the frantically brutal rat race where exceptional individualism excels, and mediocrity becomes tangled in the throng, eventually trampled by the stampede. The creative realm is a truly soul-wrenching and...
