“Alyona and I met up and hung out around the West Side Highway near the Highline in New York City. Over there, it remains unchanged; it’s industrial, dirty, and lots of sun shines through.”
“Sun. Surf. Skin. Her orange laughter fills the air like a wild freedom. A salted summer haze burns slow amongst the tin shacks, a wild crimson in her bones. A tangerine kind of dream.”
We shot this editorial in Bulli Caravan Park, nestled right along the east coast of Australia. Armed with only one lens and an infinite amount of sunlight, we wandered through lanes and gaps between these tiny homes and played hide and seek. We teamed up with Retro Spectrum, a themed retro thrift store, and laced it with seventies knick knacks.”

He is the producer behind the hip-hop duo Zion I, a project that he pursues together with MC Zion, and besides that he still finds enough time to focus on his solo career and produce for other major labels. We don´t stress a lot about describing musical genres of artists, and in that case it would be quite a tricky one anyhow as it´s such a varied compound so we just want to invite you to enjoy the exclusive Lush mix #2 premiere on C-Heads. And to say it with Amp´s on words: “Hope you enjoy this second installment of my lush mix. Something to vibe and move to, make your day a little better…more to come, enjoy!!”
“Best things come out when you feel relaxed and do things just because it’s on you and the people around you and without doing them it’s like there’s something missing in your life right?”
Looking at Amandas´s work gives you the feeling as if you would look through a kaleidoscope, with all the colours and compositions details dashing against your eyes. And it is just as addictive as when you were a child and you wouldn´t want to stop turning this toy in your hands until you would see more…
“The deeper your conscious mind swims into your subconscious mind, the bigger the fish are going to be. If you’re trying to fish in a shallow pond, you’re not going to have a ton of options. So if you open up the space of your closed-off memories, you can access that.” tells Los Angeles based photographer, fine artist and sculpturist Amanda Charchian, who gets inspired by the subconcious and things she doesn´t understand, all types of mysticism that teach her to “let go” and the poetic language of her Iranian heritage. Her images are incredibly strong and intriguing and her Swarovsky crystal sculptures, that sparkle like thousand stars in the sunlight have more to say than just being visually appealing. Looking at her work gives you the feeling as if you would look through a kaleidoscope, with all the colours and compositions details dashing against your eyes. And it is just as addictive as when you were a child and you wouldn´t want to stop turning this toy in your hands until you would see more. And some really good news: Amanda invites you to view her work on upcoming exhibitions in NYC, London, and LA in the next few months where she will be showing some new photographic works made over the last year.
“Trying To Keep Summer Alive”
Say hello to GRRL PAL! “We are two friends from Perth Western Australia who like to write fun songs.” Jay Lekat x Dannny K do “Synthy Bedroom popy stuff” and together they have been around for about 18 months and recently just got back from the US living and working with producer Parker Ighile (G-Eazy, Rihanna & Nicki Minaj). Their newest song “Paradise” is all about dating someone who likes their phone more than you. “Kind of like “HER” but mainly because we love Scarlett Johansson.” They are planning on releasing a song every month because “we’ve got a lot to share.”
“From that point I just wanted to get something spontaneous; laid back & relaxed. She comes in heavy with worn, black leather. She sits on the floor & rolls her own cigarettes. She tells off color jokes and laughs at you laughing at herself. I shot her before, during & after makeup. In a thousand dollar dress or a ten year old biker jacket, her persona doesn’t change. Her look is just as strong in serious & orchestrated shots as it is snacking on fruit or laughing, pulling the hair from her mouth when a gust of wind blows the umbrella inside out. She has those intense, wonderfully full features that you still can’t seem to tear your gaze from–even in the cheekier, more titillating shots.” ~ Fox Harvard
life is always such a risk. and we are forever right at the edge. right at the edge to fall. you want safety? there is none. we are as fragile as a spiderweb, that with its pearls of dew is like perfection, but can break so easily. but we are also on top of the world, like a swarm of birds circling the sleepless city. we are everything and nothing. and i am just luying there feeling everything i risked was worth it.
das leben ist so ein risiko. und wir sind immer am abgrund. immer am abgrund zu fallen. du willst sicherheit? es gibt keine. wir sind so zerbrechlich wie ein spinnennetz, das mit seinem morgentau perfektion darstellt, aber so leicht zerreisst. aber wir sind auch obenauf, wie ein vogelschwarm der seine kreise über der schlaflosen stadt zieht. wir sind alles und nichts. und ich liege hier und fühle, dass alles was ich riskiert habe, es wert war.
Chris Steinbach who also contributed to our latest C-Heads “Hey Girls Issue” has conjured forth another pearl of a visual story. Model Julia Stone is starring in Wild One, with incredible beautiful red lips, cool bodysuit and Dr. Marten shoes, embodying female confidence. The make-up was done by Julia herself and they shot at the location JM&Sons.
“Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed.
Maybe they just need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with them.

“Cayla and Adria” A C-Heads Exclusive story photographed and written by Stefano Galli
Bip Bip- Bip Bip (cell phone) New Inbox:
Cayla- “What are you doing tonight ?”,
Me- : “Nothing! :
Cayla- :”Ok. I’ll stop by. We’ll have a pizza”
I know Cayla since I moved to the States… she’s crazy, but this kind of crazy person that you tend to like, if you know what I mean… Anyway she’s from Illinois and I met her in Venice Beach, where I used to live. She is my friend Lorenzo ex girlfriend and he kept telling me that I should have photograph her, so I did, one day, on the beach and…. I never stopped since.
I live in Echo Park now and that night it was about a week that I moved in. As you might not know, Los Angeles is like 30 cities put together into one. I didn’t know anybody in my new “neighborhood” .
What to do, what to photograph …
Obviously, she’s late. Shows up with a shitty cold $5 pizza from Little Caesar and a 6 pack.
I go get her down the street, I recognize her wrecked car right away…
-”Hiiiiii” she goes; wearing a fucking disgusting fake fur and “bitch-a-like” high heels..
In my head I’m thinking “mmm there she goes, different place same girl” …
I notice that somebody else is there with her… While I try to focus on this new presence (it was dark) they get closer and this other girl goes :
- “Hi! I’m Adria, nice to meet you, I hear that you are going to photograph us”
I’m already upset, I’m one of this guy that doesn’t like to waste his films on any random girls..I’m very selective!
While we walk towards my super small apartment, I’m desperately trying to think about an excuse to get rid of them ASAP.
My place is empty, I just moved in! Only cheap Ikea furniture, nothing to show, nothing to talk about..boring.
We sit in the kitchen, I mean we squeeze in the kitchen…I light a cigarette, we start drinking and smocking…
I think at that point some depressing music like the Arab Strap were on the speakers …
Cayla starts talking. She talks a lot. I don’t pay attention… I though pay attention to Adria, which seems to be pretty shy.
She has an amazingly amount of beautiful black hairs covering her face, she’s half mexican… I love mixed races.
Anyway…
“I brought some clothes and some wigs” says Cayla.
“What do you mean you brought some clothes?and wigs??!! ” I reply.
Me-: “We are going to eat a pizza, that’s it!”
Cayla-: “Well, I thought we could have some pictures taken. Just to kill time… you know… Adria wants to model for American Apparel. You might help her with some good photos, you’re so good you’re so ….bla bla bla”
More beers, more cigarettes, the soundtrack is now more upbeat, Future Island, I recall …
I lazily grab my T3 and start snapping some photos whit out not even looking through the view-finder… I soon notice how incredibly sexy they responded to my flashes.
I knew how good is Cayla in front of a camera but I wouldn’t never thought the same about that pretty little girl Adria…
They raise my attention!
6 packs gone, music is back to Sigur Ros or some depressing shit like it… excitement is at the lowest, is fading…
Shit! I’ve gotta do something, I’ve gotta find some booze, it’s late… Liquor stores are already closed in this damn city… OK, fuck it! I’m just gonna knock on my brand-new neighbor’s door and ask for some alcohol.
I know it’s midnight but I’m bold enough, I can do it … ….
Me-:”Knock knock”
Neighbor -: “Who is it ?”
Me-: “It’s Stefano…next door…I was wondering if you could help me?!
She opens the door, while both Cayla and Adria are loudly laughing and skipping the music onto something more up beat, Homework by Daft Punk.
Me-: “Hi, I’m really sorry to bother… but… don’t you happen to have a spear bottle of whisky or something like it? Could I borrow it? I’ll buy it back, I promise!”
She looks at me like I’m a total asshole that needs help in order to shag two young pretty girls.
Me-: “You know, we are having a photo shoot and the ‘models’ would love to have something to drink, you know… to stay up…”
Right there I realize that I’m totally loosing my reputations. I will be consider a motherfucker Italian macho trying to have a 3some or some shit like that….
Whatever, I’m buzzed , I don’t care…
She looks at me with a wicked smile and lends me a bottle of Jack Daniel’s !
Me-: ” Wow, thank you, really!”
I rapidly end the conversation doing my best to avoid any further eye contact while I walk back …
I step back into my apartment, lock the door and blast the speakers that have now reached track nr. 03, Revolution 909, one of my favorite, by the way ..
I smile, I pour the girls a glass of Jack, the honey version (girls likes this stuff ) and I carry on clicking…
beep beep – beep beep – beep beep (cell phone alarm) I wake up – big time hangover – films everywhere on the floor – no music – nobody is around.
Cayla is now living in Denver, Colorado… I went there to photograph her few months ago but this stupid american air line company lost my luggage with all my films and equipment’s inside! We ended up starring at each other. (Hej don’t worry, I’ve got a full coverage on the loss )
Adria, I haven’t seen her since. I want to believe that she change her phone number and that’s the reason why she’s not replaying to my text….
This is a story about a night that was supposed to be something but ended up be something else! FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCT, ALWAYS!

“It all started with Leslie.” Enjoy part 2 of our C-Heads Exlusive Series by Berlin based photographer Suzana Holtgrave who captures girls whilst chilling on the balcony and being welcomed by the sun. Part two starring the girls Larissa, Canan and Iza Mortag.
“A 2nd-year high school student named Shun Takahata lives an ordinary teenage life until one day a malevolent Daruma doll appears in front of his class and forces the students to participate in a series of children’s games such as “Daruma-san ga Koronda” with death as the penalty for losing. With no knowledge of who’s behind the games, he’s left with no other choice but to keep winning as his only means of protecting himself and his childhood friend, Ichika. Meanwhile, a troubled classmate named Takeru seems to actually be relishing the opportunity to get other students killed. (eigapedia)”
