COLOUR & LIGHT Editor’s Letter Welcome to Issue #4, an issue full of colour, light, atmosphere and the odd character.

The vibrant and dreamy cover from twenty year old Antonio Adam in Berlin is a great way to start the issue. From the vibrant red-hair of model Kira März to the stunning natural setting, we love it.

Our first story comes from Milan based stylist and photographer Serena Toffetti, a true artist who we hope to see lots more of. Then we see the raw and quirky work of Boston-based Michael J DeMeo, followed by the timeless images of our Canadian Content Editor April-Lea Hutchison, in a story titled ‘Crimson Afternoon’. We then jump to Berlin for the cover story from Antonio Adam, whilst a stop-off in the Netherlands introduce’s us to the unique ‘hand-made’ work of artist Marjolein Audrey Banis - incredible.

Finally we end up near the south-cost of Great Britain, in Kent with another young photographer, Sam Taylor. Keep a look out for his work and enjoy...

-Ian Cole

SERENA TOFFETTI Title: Jacquiline Model: Jacquiline Summer at Why Not, Milan Photographer: Serena Toffetti Makeup/Hair: Usabella Sabbioni at Freelancer

and you can find my visual diary here:

Serena was born in Italy in 1979, attended classical studies and graduated in Literature.

“I am inspired by nature, lights, nights, friends, love, islands… and small little details that make life beautiful. It’s a praise to life, I hope.”

www.novepuntodue.tumblr.com

She moved to fashion slightly later even though she spent a lot of her younger years during school, listening to music and reading fashion magazines - “ I would just rip out the pages with pictures, clothes, models and atmosphere, I loved it without knowing the meaning of my actions...”

“I’m now a freelance stylist and a fashion consultant based in Milan. My passion is the research, i’m just an addict, so for that I created in 2010 my blog: www.itcouldbemine.tumblr.com ”I describe this as a stream of conciousness of feelings divided by themes.

Polaroids and analogic cameras are my passion, because of that I started to shoot

“I’m also teaching and coordinating some styling courses at European Institute of Design in Milan, which I love.”

Another reason for my life is the food! I’m vissionaire and collaborator for HAUTE FOOD: www.haute-food.com a blog that became an independent print zine in november 2011.

MARJOLEIN AUDREY BANIS Title: Untitled Location: Netherlands Photographer: Marjolein Audrey Banis Artist statement My photographs start as digital capture. They are being developed into an analoge negative that is being hand-developed in the wet darkroom a in very unconventional style.

The photographic outcome is unique and original - Hybrid photography in an unexpected and nonconforming manner. Because imperfection is reality and i like and believe it is nicer then all the perfected digital images, which look and feel the same to me.
