Innsbruck, Austria based Lisa Aumaier alias Little Element blends dreamy pop sound and alternative elements into chill and cozy music. We had a chat with the young producer, songwriter and singer about her new song “Tel Aviv”, on finding the right balance and what home means to her.
I love your latest release „Tel Aviv“. There is a lot of emotion in the song – it´s about meeting your soulmate again after half a year and the decision about giving up daily life to move to the other side of the world for love. I think there are many people who can relate to that topic. Did you chose love at the end? And how do you feel about your decision today?
No I didn’t – it didn´t feel like the right thing to do in that period. I think if it would have felt like “the big love” and both are all in, then there would be no other option as to just risk it. But anyway.. Tel Aviv is a nice playground for artists and caught me a lot!
You quit school when you were 17 – then you headed off to the South of France to write music. Sounds really adventurous. What has this time taught you the most as a person and how did it influence your musical growth?
If you are a fish swimming against the current the struggle to find your own stream is its own unique university. Those years taught me a lot and kind of made me grow up. Following and feeling a strong passion is an alternately “blessing and curse”. I figured out that no waves of success can replace friendship & love. It’s important to take care of that when you are on the run to climb to the top. I am the kind of person who sometimes wants to do ten things at the same time so I needed to learn to priorities, to focus on less projects and safe my energy, otherwise you stand on the top and can’t enjoy the view anymore because you are too tired. When I look back musically, I’ll tell you a little secret. My biggest dream was that I would once get played on my favourite radio channel fm4. Then something much better happened, when I became artist of the month, signed a label contract, played concerts where people sang to my songs. This “present” showed me I am on the right way and all the struggle was worth it. If you spread your seed with love, tasty fruit will come out. Share it surrounded by good vibed people makes them more tasty and is the best feeling ever! Enjoy this ride until you start to swim to catch the next wave.
“I needed to learn to priorities, to focus on less projects and safe my energy, otherwise you stand on the top and can’t enjoy the view anymore because you are too tired.”
How did you initially get into making music?
Maybe, it sounds a little clichè, but I felt like a kind of a lost soul and different from the mainstream society. Creating music felt like isolating myself from troubles and hiding in my own atmosphere. This energy was like a magnet, I wanted to follow this because nothing felt so good and right and I always trusted this feeling because it felt really strong. Here I am – still addicted. Smiles.
You are self-taught and with various part time jobs you created a little home-studio. What part time jobs did you have and was there ever a moment where you almost gave up on your dream? Because reality can be hard especially within the artistic field…
OMG..Laughs. My jobs, okay I list some, snowboard instructor, bartender in clubs, fundraiser at Greenpeace (first job ever and the worst). The best one was where I was able to safe money for my first music equipment and it was being a season worker in a hotel as a housekeeping women. Beside my longest job at the skate shop I also finally managed to gain the A-levels beside working. It was always important for me to have the option to study something if I want to.
About giving up: Yes, there were and sometimes still are moments of downs. Especially at the beginning when everything was sooo far away, even to own my own guitar. Laughs. When I go crazy again from the struggles between music and life balance and speak it out seriously, I always start to cry and it feels so unrealistic to give up. Well, it’s too late anyway to give up, I would feel really depressed and I would lose a part of my identity and my light. It’s all about finding the right balance between time for creative projects and having enough money for paying your rent and stuff.
“About giving up: Yes, there were and sometimes still are moments of downs. Especially at the beginning when everything was sooo far away, even to own my own guitar.”
The name „Little Element“ was inspired by?
My connection to nature, especially the element water and my belief that we are all little elements connected during a strong magnetically field.
What can you reveal about your upcoming album?
My upcoming album is gonna be trippy and beautiful – I can’t wait to share the magic fire piece with you.
You are currently based in Innsbruck right? How is the musical scene there?
Well, actually that’s right. Innsbruck is most of the time my base for working and shaping the creative process to an end result. The artist scene is small, that’s why I travel as much as possible to get enough exchange. I am eyes and heart open for a new place to live for a while, we will see where time leads me.
What means home for you?
1. Doing music and being creative
2. Watching and listening to the waves
3. And at least also with the right people – home can be everywhere for me
“I want to look back at my life thinking I didn’t miss too many chances because of fear and followed all the stuff where I had a strong feeling to do them.”
Seaside or mountains?
Definitely seaside
Love is…
Sharing & flying and landing together
When you are old you want to look back at your life and think…
That I didn’t miss too many chances because of fear and followed all the stuff where I had a strong feeling to do them.

Russian photographer Anastasia Hexahedron has been taking photos, digital as well as shooting on film, for the past five years. “Digital is more for serious projects and film for having fun. In my projects, I usually don’t aspire to document the world as it is, but I try to create a special, magical and mystical atmosphere, on the verge between reality and sleep. Sometimes life around us is not so bright and romantic, and not as memorable and impressive as dreams. For me, photography is a way to doubt the reality that exists by adding to it special mysterious features.” explains the Yaroslavl based artist to us.
And then she presents us her series called”The Mist”. And with it we dive into an unknown, mysterious world.
“«The Mist» project was created thanks to a fortuity. I didn’t prepare it in advance. Imagine the usual morning when you are doing your studies till dawn and thinking about going to bed. You are going to the kitchen to drink some water and notice that there is literally emptiness outside the window – absolutely nothing is visible. You come closer and realize that you need to grab your camera and walk around your neighborhood. There is this heavy fog outside that you have never seen in your life.
The city looks abandoned when you walk alone through absolutely deserted streets with a visibility of only about 10-20 meters, and you shy away from the silhouettes in the distance. Monumental high-rise buildings are a legacy of a long-lost civilization, and the lights are just phantoms, figment of the imagination, which doesn’t want to admit its loneliness. Was it ever different?
What is hiding in a deserted city? What happened here? Is it real or is it a hallucination caused by sleep deprivation and a disturbed day routine?
The day has changed places with the night; you no longer feel time or space. You get lost here despite the fact that it’s your native place where you grew up. There is no question of where to go, surprisingly. Every corner of this new world fascinates with its peculiar beauty. Your phone has just been discharged. Now you don’t even know what time it is and how much time has passed. Your feet are wet from moisture and dew. Here and now is only you and your camera, you must capture The Mist. But are there any people who are still able to see and understand your art?
Only you can decide to stay here forever or to unwind with the first rays of dawn.”

“Sometimes I find it difficult to describe my photos. Maybe because often these are my emotions, visions, dreams and inspirations combined together into one specific story. The translation of that story into words can be a challenge.” Magdalena Kubiak answers when we ask her about her photography. And then she shows us her latest work with model Anya Zen:”I can certainly tell, though, that photographing beautiful, charming Anya during one of the last days of summer definitely fulfilled my need to create something new, which I would feel proud of. We were goofing around, we laughed, we had lots of fun, we let ourselves be spontaneous. As a result I think we said “Goodbye” to summer season in style!”. Good bye summer, Hello Anya!

Fabian Zelinksy is an Austrian visionary with substantial inclinations. A polished and formidable photographer, Zelinsky captures the little moments that define the sum of life’s parts. Inspired by female excellence and sunscapes, this conscious creator stops time to capture the power of now. Recalibrating the mundane, Zelinsky surveys the human experience with a dreamy prowess. Talking lighting design, cloudy days, and emotional photography- this is Fabian Zelinsky at his core.
Where did your journey into photography begin, and how has it evolved over time?
I would say my journey started 8 years ago. At that time I didn’t really know what to do with my creativity and energy. One day I picked up my dad’s camera and started shooting everything. I think I started like everyone does by taking pictures of flowers and stuff. I simply shot everything I could find and had fun. Over the last couple of years, many things have changed. I started focusing more on shooting nature, landscapes and sunsets. At one time, I think 2 or 3 years ago, landscapes were no longer enough. I was missing the human aspect in photography. Then I got a chance to photograph the first woman outside of my family and friends. It was my first try and… yeah I think the pictures looked exactly like “the first time ever.” From this point I was hooked and started to photograph more and more people- especially women. Throughout my whole life I had strong women by my side- my mom, my grandma, my girlfriend, and her mom. So for me, women are such strong and beautiful human beings that I just want to capture how they look to me. At this point I try more and more to tell stories and capture natural beauty, with people, emotions, colors, and honest moments.
As many of your subjects are women, what do you do to ensure that they’re comfortable enough to produce such natural and candid content?
I do nothing special. I grew up surrounded by girls because I was a quiet kid and couldn’t really connect with other boys so I just started spending my time with girls. I think because of those years surrounded with women I have learned to listen more.
So when I meet someone to take photos of them, I take my time to get to know each other, I talk very much with them. They also get to know me and my life, and think by that, trust and honesty starts building up and makes everything easier. Also before we even meet, I text with them a lot and collect moods so they get a feeling for my vision of the whole shoot.
New wave feminism is sweeping the globe, what does feminism mean to you and how is it portrayed in your work?
For my work it doesn’t really change anything, I always have shown women like they are- strong, beautiful, and unique. After that whole “everything needs to look perfect” phase on social-media (and photography), finally natural, candid, and emotional pictures had their revival. So now I try even more to show them that they look amazing without photoshop.
“For me, women are such strong and beautiful human beings that I just want to capture how they look to me.”
Each of your posts on Instagram are complemented by a poetic caption. Are these always related to the image, or is this writing another medium of creativity for you unrelated to the image?
Thank you for the nice words but I think most of them are not really poetic. Many captions are parts from song lyrics, but for the last few months I’ve written the captions by myself. Only a few of them are really related to the actual picture. Most of the time I simply write down thoughts, or try to give the picture a certain feeling with words.
Sunsets also seem to be a subject of yours. What is it that inspires you about the golden hour? Do you prefer the sunrise or sunset?
Of course they are, I think I simply like the colors and that every single sunset/rise looks unique. For taking pictures, I simply love sunsets because of the colors, the feel, and that you have more time to capture the sunset itself. I personally love to wake up and start the day early, so sunrise is also nice.
Your beautiful series titled “Linda” showcases very specific and natural lighting design. How does nature’s light influence and ultimately shape your vision?
Light is one of the key elements in photography. The color temperature light simply changes the whole feeling of a picture. So I try to work with the light I have and create pictures that show the mood and feeling of the moment. Grey and cloudy day equals moody cool tones, warm and sunny day where the sun is hitting perfect equals happier warm tones. So light is the key for the mood of a shot, that’s why I love sunsets and sunflairs.
On your Instagram page, there is a story highlight titled ‘Music.’ If you could choose any song or album that parallels your aesthetic as a photographer, what would it be and why?
It really depends on my mood what I´m listening to. But music is a great inspiration for my photography. I would say Hip/Hop and RnB influence my work. I personally like the more melancholic stuff like Dermot Kennedy and NF. I think most of the time you can see that dark mood and feel in my shots.
“I grew up surrounded by girls because I was a quiet kid and couldn’t really connect with other boys so I just started spending my time with girls. I think because of those years surrounded with women I have learned to listen more.”
Although self-criticism is an abstract concept, what are some things you want to improve upon moving forward with your career?
It really is, but I think self-critically. Sometimes I think my stuff is simply garbage and on other days I really love my work. I know at some point in my work that I really want to improve, especially my framing and use of color and emotions. I try to improve these points with every shoot so everything always looks a little different but that’s okay. But at this moment, I really like the mood and feel of my pictures. But I think over time things change, so I don’t know what they will look like in the future.
Self-love is an even more abstract concept, what do you love about the work that you share with the world?
The fact that I can show the world my perspective and vision- the way I see and feel things. That I love every second I captured and I don’t want to miss a single one.
What message do you hope viewers will take away from your work?
I don’t really want to share a message. I simply hope that they can feel the pictures the same way I do, I hope someone maybe will get inspired.
What does the world have to look forward to in the next year from Fabian Zelinksy?
That’s a great question, to be honest I really don’t know. I just know that I want to shoot more in a more documentary-esque style, be more creative, find some new faces, go to new places, and never stop capturing my view on moments. I want to capture roadtrips and lifestyle stuff…simply stunning moments with amazing people. And maybe I will buy a new camera.

Not long ago I was living in the heart of Tuscany, and there, I would be doing what most people in Tuscany do–drink wine. However, I have also been doing what very few people in Tuscany (or anywhere else) on a regular basis–talk about poetry and literature. I joined a “secret” literary group of modern-day renaissance souls that would meet regularly, open bottles of wine, while talking about literature and art.
Many would react to this with confusion. Perhaps it is the way poetry is taught in high schools and universities. But I have always been fascinated by how people see poetry as something overly intellectual and intentionally theoretical at the same time abstract, as something (unlike wine) not to be enjoyed.
In order to help drive home a point I had been making about poetry all these years, I mentioned to a friend about poetry being visceral, instinctual and pleasurable, I said to him after he just finished a glass of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano he clearly loved, “You know what you just did? You drank a poem.”
As most people do, he dismissed me and even I pretty much forgot about our conversation until a few days later. When I was reading wine articles and realized that poetry and wine have much more in common than merely being reliable tools of seduction.
The unexpected symmetry of wine and poetry was swirling around in the empty carafe of my mind when I received an invitation to a rather remarkable wine tasting in Florence called Anteprima: Chianti Classico Collection.
For example, both poetry and wine share an interesting relationship between makers, audiences, and critics. You can think of winemakers as poets and wine as their poetry. The winemaker labors over the wine, blending this and that, tinkering for days, trying to find the perfect balance between pleasure and structure… In much the same way as a poet agonizes over their poem. The winery, of course, functions a lot like a publisher, packaging the art and making it available to the public. Coincidentally, in both cases, there are often issues of class, taste, and sophistication that can get in the way of both consumption and enjoyment. Perhaps, not surprisingly, for both poetry and wine, there is a real tension between the tastes and preferences of audiences, as the tastes and preferences of critics. What critics and makers tend to love is not always what audiences tend to love and cherish.
What critics and makers tend to love is not always what audiences tend to love and cherish.
The unexpected symmetry of wine and poetry was swirling around in the empty carafe of my mind when I received an invitation to a rather remarkable wine tasting in Florence called Anteprima: Chianti Classico Collection. This was the preview of new vintages from the wine region Chianti Classico between Florence and Siena, that takes place every year. As I was walking around the room, checking out the labels on the bottles and creating tasting notes in my mind with every sip, I began to feel as though I was in a library or a bookstore–each bottle a book spine, each tasting note a blurb. Before I knew it, I was thinking of a glass of wine as a poem that had been written in red or white, with me as one of many potential readers.
The region that is the most romantic area of Italy known for its sweeping landscapes, burning hot sun and its wealth of art and food history.
One of the ways people talk about wine is to compare the taste profile to something recognizable like melon tobacco; so I started trying to think of poet correlatives for each wine I was tasting. When I first tasted Chianti that derives its name not from the grape used to make the wine, which is Sangiovese, but from the region where it is made. The region that is the most romantic area of Italy known for its sweeping landscapes, burning hot sun and its wealth of art and food history. It is from this region that we also get delicious olive oil and Michelangelo’s David. Drinking Chianti for the first time was like drinking Dante Alighieri’s poem that swirled through my glass and kept me wanting to read more and more. If something can be smoother and more complex at the same time, it was. The only way I described it was like; imbibing dusty berries from heaven with a touch of provocative tobacco.
One doesn’t go somewhere with the intent of buying a sexy wine, but it is through experiencing it that its true seductiveness is revealed, quite often starting out with a flirt on the palate or as a waft of a mysterious perfume that beckons us to give in to our desire to become better acquainted. There are occasions when the winemaker succeeds in capturing the subtlety and beauty that can only be experienced viscerally when it is quiet and it evokes and awakens our deepest romantic notions. These are thrilling moments, for sure. The ability for wine to move us, emotionally, physically, experientially, and leave us breathless – that is sexy. Just like poetry.

Berlin-based Ben Esser is well known for his role as producer for New Zealand artist Noah Slee, who has been making waves with his heart-on-sleeve brand of RnB and Soul over the past two years.
After having taken a backseat with his own project in order to help other artists hone their sound, Esser is back and rearing to go with a whimsical new offering in “Stripes“- his first original release in two years.
Created with NYC-based emawk and UK guitar wunderkind Beau Diako, “Stripes” is a seamless collaborative gem which perfectly encapsulates “raw moments of pure inspiration”, released via Berlin label Lekker Collective.
The track, which is short but oh-so-sweet, serves to perfectly encapsulate a vibe rather than try to tick all the hallmarks of a “serious” song – reminding us of the importance of creating without needing to fit into boxes. A simple synth melody, understated bassline, spritely guitar flickers, and emawk’s unmistakable layered harmonies leave us wanting more, but also happily satisfied with a tune that doesn’t drag out any of its ideas for longer than is necessary.
Speaking to us, Esser says:
“Whilst producing or rather finishing a song is mostly solitary and personal for me, I try to engulf myself in the collaborative process as much as possible. Since for me there’s no greater inspiration then making songs and sounds with others. One small idea can spark another and in these moments things fall into the right place almost by fate.”
“Stripes” is now out via Lekker Collective.

Story and Photography by Paco Ferrara, aka Pak! Pak!
Model: Takha
“I guess creation goes with its ups and downs.
This story is about my rebirth in doing pictures.
I met Takha on a shooting in Paris with another model I shot previously. I hired these two Ukrainian models for a personal project. I wasn’t particularly nervous. Everything was setup, and the booked hotel suite was quite amazing. After makeup and wardrobe choice, shooting started and… I was blown away from the first shot till the last one. There was only her, in the middle of nowhere. A suspended moment in time. We left each other, happy with the job done.
Then we started to chat, talking about our lives, what drives us in art.
Two weeks later, a production company hired me to give a hand on a film in… Kiev, Ukraine.
And we met again. We spent an endless night talking, walking the streets, shooting at my rented apartment. Some really intimate moments made of creativity and spontaneous shoots.
Then we met again a month later in Zurich between 2 jobs she had.
And then in Kiev again, and Bucharest.
And in Constanta.
And in Bucharest again.
And Munich.
And finally in Paris for a 24h transit she had.
She will be here for 10 days in Paris next week.
I didn’t really knew what it was to have a Muse in your life. I mean, someone that inspires you, pushes your creativity, and most of all, gives you the opportunity improve in your art.
Photography is not just the photographer´s creation. It’s a creative team composed of the model and photographer.
Thank you Takha. For what we have done. And for everything that is coming.
Love.
All the best,
Paco

Iconic Images have just launched an unseen Norman Parkinson book that shows a collection of his greatest work in the fields of fashion, celebrity, royalty and portraiture. Featuring many iconic images of famous faces including Audrey Hepburn, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Jean Seberg, Jerry Hall and many more this book is a jewel for all photographer lovers, including us of course! “It was a real labour of love from the team here to go through and begin scanning the Norman Parkinson archive. We’ve now digitally scanned all of the archive, which has over a million negatives in total!” tells us Sam Clegg, Head of Social Media at Iconic Images, and this makes us pretty speechless and impressed and it feels even more precious to hold this in our hands and browse through images that are absolutely stunning, timeless and iconic.
Outtake of the book:
“A long overdue introduction into the work of a genius of photography. Norman Parkinson (1913-1990) is one of the greatest and most influential photographers of the twentieth century. Beginning in the 1930s his style of work helped define the look of each subsequent decade (including the New Look of Paris in the ’50s and Swinging London of the ’60s) and his impact on his followers was immense. Parkinson gained recognition in his early years revolutionising photography by moving female models from the static, serious and controlled environment of the photographic studio to real-life locations and exotic surroundings. This dynamic and spontaneous style garnered the attention of numerous fashion magazines including Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and Town & Country, earning Parkinson international recognition. His photographs helped create the age of the supermodel and made Parkinson the photographer of choice for fashion designers, artists and writers, musicians and actors, and British royalty.”
The book is available now at all good book stores and you can also purchase it online at ‘ACC Art Books’.

“Akira and I have been friends since 2016 when we ‘street’ cast her for a ‘Boogie Nights’ themed campaign for my brand called POP Copenhagen, which we shot in a shabby but cute house in Silver Lake. Since then, we always catch up when I’m in L.A., and connect sweetly on our overall way of life and spontaneity. Akira is a ‘musician who models’, and I love her for being so tremendously excited about things. Specially about rock n’ roll, vintage guitars and music in general – in which she has the coolest taste and goes to concerts all the time – but also about setting up shoots, going on road trips or going surfing. Even if she has forgotten her surfboard, she’s ‘excited to just be near the water and swim around’. She’s true blue.”

They say a picture paints a thousand words. And that is so accurate for the work of Italian based photographer Cristina Coral´s. Often driven by the research of beauty and aesthetic the Italy based artist fascinates with an incomparable imagery. It is a dipping into an alluring world of absorbing colour combinations and rare poses embedded in surprising geometrical perspectives. We had a short chat with Cristina and are showing one of her series called “Making architecture” that deals with the perception of a place.
When did you start photography?
My first camera was my mother’s camera: a Benicini Comet II film 127, I was very young and my first photographic subjects were my family. I have chosen the camera as an artistic expression seven years ago. My approach to photography and it’s development was almost entirely self-taught. I don’t consider myself a photographer but I consider photography a means to
represent my feelings and my vision.
What camera do you use?
Usually Nikon digital.
“My inspirations? Observation of reality, thoughts and emotional baggage of memories.”

Observation of reality, thoughts and emotional baggage of memories. My works are very often driven by the research of beauty and aesthetic. The setting and decor are very important in my work. Every day life seems to be the best source.
What project are you currently working on?
I will continue working on my personal projects, a collective exhibition and some editorial publications and enjoy life.
