@naskademini
As a multi-faceted artist, Naskademini makes his audience explore life through his lens. From fashion editorials, trips around the world, portraits & surreal concepts; Naskademini takes you in another dimension.

What really stands out in his work is the fact that most of his pictures tell a story or take you in a different moment.
You can see the details of the features from the models he captures, their emotions and sometimes even a glimpse of their thoughts.
His project called ”Hanging Pictures On My Wall” was a statement of his vision as an artist. He recreated the perfect 90’s kid bedroom in an art gallery with Hip Hop posters all over the walls just to bring back that nostalgic feeling we all once had.
He has also blessed some of the biggest brands in the industry. Brands like Puma, Nike & Timbaland were some of the lucky ones to get the Naskademini effect.
Check out his new release!

Joey Gutierez is an urban explorer and photographer you need to know for sure. Instead of focusing on the traditional skylines of Montreal we see here and there, Joey gives you an open window to his world as an urban explorer.
Rooftops, skyscraper’s construction sites and everything that will remind you that photographers often activate their inner Spider-Man to deliver their art.
He’s definitely a must follow!

The creatives behind Visually Tasteful have the Midas touch when it comes to creating dope projects with a story behind them. Indeed, they’ve shot some of your favourite local talents such as High Klassified, Miro Laflaga & many others.
The only common denominator is their ability to bring a visual experience to their projects. They combine graphic designs with their work and the final result is often surreal as you can see below!

This Year Malefycia Is Colliding Horror And The Bible To Make The Thrill Of Halloween Real Again
Malefycia Is Restoring The Feeling, One Spooky Scream At A Time
Long are the days when I was cruising down the streets on October 31st either looking for candies to devour for 3 weeks straight or even as an adult looking for a popping club where I could tell people ”My costume is ME tonight”.
The truth is, I think Malefycia restored something that I thought was buried inside me. They reminded me that not only I liked Halloween but I just couldn’t find an alternative in my adult life to spark my curiosity on one side and get the thrill going on the other.
Malefycia been around for a minute but this year they’re trying something different…I mean different.
You’re familiar with the 7 sins in the bible don’t you? You’re aware of what a haunted house is supposed to be don’t you? Well, something in their team had the genius and actually vicious idea to combine these two things who might have nothing to with each other on the outside looking in but in this new adventure/haunted house experience; it all make sense!
their show called V7CE is cross theatre performance, cross the most scary thing you’ve ever seen. The show includes different scenes and interactive plays putting on the forefront the 7 sins from the bible.
What always stand out to me when it comes to Malefycia, is there raw and authentic attention to details.
Do yourself a favor and come immerse yourself in this universe and your inner child and your thrill-seeking inner adult have some fun.
Myraï Lavoie Is Creating Her Own Universe And You’re Invited
What I appreciate the most about my work is the fact that I get to meet great minds & humans with a powerful story and this time around, I got to cross path with the talented Myraï Lavoie.

The city has been quiet fashion wise over the years and as platform that mostly talked about fashion in its inception, we’ve felt it the most over here.
There would be sparks of hope here and there but besides Festival De Mode & Design, not a lot of things really stood out.
When I heard about ”The Glitch” it’s like I knew what it was about without nothing what it was about.
I mean good branding is good branding but it was more so who’s behind the good branding this time around. I had the chance to work with Myraï Lavoie in the past and one thing I can is : there’s a method to her madness.
Every artist has an eye and that eye is shaped by our views of the world and life experiences. Myraï had an interesting life.
One where being different is actually the move. One where if you don’t fit somewhere, you don’t try to get in the mold, you bend it.
For all the lack of support or misunderstand she got in Montreal, she found a place to be creative working or being in room with the likes of Paris Hilton & P. Diddy to name a few.
What she’s learned from coming out of her shell and experiencing the world she’s about the share it with us with her own fashion called ”The Glitch” tonight.
”The Glitch” is exactly what I thought it was going to be. A standout experience and experience and something you’ve never seen before just like its creator.

We are now entering an era where we want to know more about what is going on on the other side of the world.
How people are living, their culture and what is their reality compared to ours.
Sometimes the depiction of such reality is either unfair or made to look down at somebody. Other times, filmmakers have the challenge to depict a reality in a way to uplift what other cultures are bringing to the table.
Milan Bihlmann and Muammer Yilmaz are two filmmakers who know where they stand when it comes to that.
”Rêves D’Afrique” is the epidemy of that. The two filmmakers decided to go to 7 countries in Africa to not only paint the picture for the world but to give the good people out there something we forget to give one another : ”a piece of yourself’.
Armed with a backpack, film gear and true altruism, the duo spread love and good deeds wherever they could throughout their trip.
Watch The Trailer
Les Grands Explorateurs being this platform to uncover the world made the right choice by adding this beautiful piece to their program.
Up until November 1st, you still have the chance to see the beautiful piece in theater and then online starting November 2nd.
