His influences are quite varied, and he is always storing up visual inspiration: “- Photos, paintings, or films… I am naturally quite curious and always crave for more. ”

His work has been published in several respected publications, such as Oyster and Yen, but Guillaume doesn’t do it for the money or the fame. “I don’t work to be published, or for money. I work for myself. Even if my mum is proud when she sees my name in a magazine. She is pointing it and scream ‘That’s you! Here, that’s my son!’ That’s always funny, but annoying in the same time.”

When asking him about his inspirations, he continues: “- Well.. I will say dogs running on the beach. No. I don’t know. It’s just a feeling I think.. I like simple things (I’m a simple guy), no artifice, no pretend. I let things come naturally to me. I never try to force myself, I think If you force yourself, you are not as inspired as if something comes naturally. There is no name for the best inspiration, it’s something you just feel. Also dogs running on the beach (naked dogs, no jackets…) and Justin Bieber because he has shiny hair.”

At the moment he’s doing a lot of work for Oyster, and is featured in the new issue with a big story about badass teenagers: “- They go back to a lost school, we shot this near Sydney. The place is crazy, imagine a huge abandon school from the 90s, trashed and lost. Some guys built a skate ramp in a classroom!

I’m also working on different personal projects. I like to be prolific, but not too much. I try to be really bored too, and it’s hard, but when I become bored I start to think about what I really want to do and then i become productive. I suppose i just need to be bored and feel bad and then escape to the boredness with ideas and hope. It s all about balance.”

Guillaume has worked in both LA and Paris, but is now enjoying life in Sydney: “- I live in this little wood house in a quiet street, I wake up with birds… Some of them are loud talkers but we are all friends.”

When I caught up with Mikael back in May I asked him what inspired him, his answer was honest: “- Women, women, and women!”

Having followed his work for a while I was very excited when Mikael provided me with the exclusive and vibrant story Love Lights, taking place at Pigalle, the famous red-district in Paris.

She claims her ideas and inspirations often comes to her in visions, and she uses her camera as a sort notebook to write them down: ” - Other than that I am inspired by a certain state of mind, the body, geometry, city lights, music, architecture and movies.”

At the moment she’s occupied with a personal project called Travelling Around Music, which she is doing together with event and art manager Anna Mastrolitto.

She is inspired by people, their experiences and their life story. Although that may be her greatest source of inspiration, she still finds inspiration the works of other artists: “- Good books that bring out personal development in their characters are always a love of mine. I love Kundera & Kafka, I love Ayn Rand. As far as artists, Picasso (his blue & his rose period work), and Monet inspired me to start painting at an early age. Paolo Roversi’s photography is a dream, I will always consider him the great photographer of our time, since his photographs look like paintings. His connection with his subjects is superior and honest.”

Ninelle Efremova, originally from Minsk, Belarus, began her photography study through photographing details and models for her painting work. Photography quickly became a full time obsession. With strong connection to the music scene, Ninelle worked as a prominent music photographer for five years, and within the past two years shifted her focus to the world of fashion and design. Ninelle’s work has now been published world wide: “- I am grateful to the art directors that have favored my style and work. If people happen to see it and write me surprised, that’s a treat. Publishing is the outlet, but work is the focus, and future is what I’m striving for.”

And she is keeping busy: “- At the moment, I am actually working on a lot of fine art prints and putting together a new collection of work. I am working on fine art prints that will be placed in a penthouse of a 5 star hotel in Las Vegas that is opening this October. I am also starting to plan for shoots for a gallery show in Los Angeles and New York. I plan to return to my roots of painting and fine art, and I’m making a few small steps towards that. Editorial projects I’m reserving to the times that I travel to London, because the artists I’ve worked with in Europe truly inspire me to further myself and the quality of my work. Since I’m from Europe, I think as artists we connect with each other better there.”
