The Truth Told Project
It’s said that a picture is worth a thousand words. But sometimes it’s worth far more. Photography gives insight into the lives and surroundings of a subject at hand, but given particular circumstances, those insights can become a force behind social change.

For the love of the game
Few things on earth have the power to unite people the way in which sports do. Rugby, with the help of Nelson Mandela, united South Africa.

My latest obsession // Mae Chevrette

Stockholm is determined to change that. In collaboration with 150 artists, the Swedish Capitol transformed 90 of its 100 subway stations into an evolving art experience. Stretching over 68.3 miles (110 kilometers), it’s easily the largest art exhibit in […]
In plain sight
London-based artist Slinkachu takes cues from everyday situations and, in plain sight, creates a new reality out of it. But without paying close enough attention, the hidden world could remain unseen. It’s easy to tune out our surroundings as we go about this journey called life, but in doing so we potentially miss out on the little […]

Light up the streets
Darius Twin‘s re-imagination of Los Angeles, CA combines elements of light painting and photography, bringing a new spin to what street art usually looks like. Using long-exposure photography to capture the intricate paintings, he recreates an everyday setting into something that makes you second-guess what is and isn’t real. With the photos’ subjects only existing as the artist creates them and then disappearing […]
