Red Moon A red light streams over Renata to create a vampiric feel - but one does not feel haunted, nor scared; rather compelled and enticed to come closer, and understand a little bit more about what this is really all about. This set feels chillingly intimate, and ferociously sensual. It screams lust, power, and embraces the divinity of the feminine form. Renata glares humbly onward as streams of red drown her skin.  Drown with her. Photographer: Max Kinsky Model: Renata Shulga https://www.rektmag.net/home/2016/12/30/red-moon

I saw you playing Meandering through the waves and crawling through the dirt in an abandoned beach house, Sophie isn't shy to get her feet a little dirty and her face full of sand. Pressing herself against a rusted door she indulges Glen with a mischievous smile. However, as innocent as one can be Sophie only thinks onward to the wanders of the sea as she lets go of societal constraints and leaves her clothes behind. Splashing about nonchalantly and laughing continually as she enjoys herself on set.

Eastern Explorer pt.2 Carl Jones, a South African photographer takes us on a journey to the eastern most corners of the world, and shares with us a unique perspective from the rooftops of Seoul. Dimly lit rooms in hidden apartment spaces fuel the artistry presented. Girls weave between UV lights and abstract backdrops to bring you something a little more raw to your naked eye. Find yourself stumbling upon an elegant asian face that meets the hardened Seoul streets.  The city scape curves itself against these beautifully refined women, as Carl captures an urban jungle of fun-filled industria. After digesting this, I'm feeling a trip to Korea... https://www.rektmag.net/home/2016/11/25/eastern-explorer-pt-ii

Distractions Life can sometimes consume; enter the void, and find your mind engulfed by too much and too many. The overseer of all, your burning brain which refutes rest and runs endlessly.  Meet the cure - Distraction. The beautiful mistress that is Distraction. She comes in the night, wanting no more than your presence. Needing no less than your happiness. Injecting your veins with a blissful euphoria, she curls into your anatomy and warms your finger tips both slowly and sensually.  But Distraction is temporary. She lasts not forever, and gives not always. She comes seldom to the mind. But that is her very power, the limitation, so that you may bestow appreciation. Distraction will fade in and out, like an apparition in the night sky, and when she comes, your teeth will gnaw with excitement and your eyes will widen with glee, but don't commit too much of your self to her, as she will have to leave in the near future,… https://www.rektmag.net/home/2016/12/28/distractions

drifting on love Lovers find themselves on a quiet night in rested against each others skin. Burning cigarettes one by one and pouring warm coffee for each other as they ponder the meaning of things that matter most to them. Enthralled with each others presence, and mesmerized by each others beauty, they intertwine and embrace with a grasp so strong that problems of the now become irrelevant, and this moment becomes the everything. The journey through the soul of your loved one is the most rewarding path to walk.

Artist Spotlight: Mike T Schmitt Mike T Schmitt is a New York-based photographer and Creative Director working primarily in film. His work centers on women in domestic interior spaces; intimate, unhurried images that document the texture of a particular moment in time without declaring it. The images are quiet but deliberate: locations sourced to feel like they belong to the subject, shoots that unfold without a predetermined final product. "I'm interested in the hour before and the hour after — not the performance, but what surrounds it. Getting ready, coming down, existing without an audience. I build each shoot around the subject's world so that when the camera comes up, nothing changes. Primarily medium format film, because the deliberateness of the process becomes part of the image. What comes back is a document of a specific time and place — and I'm aware enough of the moment we… https://www.rektmag.net/home/2026/8/15/artist-spotlight-mike-t-schmitt

Artist Spotlight: Toma Kezic "I am Toma Kezić, an 18 year old photographer from Croatia. That’s enough about me. There has always been this notion that photography is meant to be seen rather than felt. This persuasion of beauty that grabs our attention by capturing things that are meant to be seen as “beautiful”, rather than creating beauty from it’s core elements (such as the golden ratio, balance etc.), rather enveloping the ideas that make what beautiful is. The ideas that consequently make us feel something, inducing us to do the same. I think photography is about that, about creating art that is meant to be felt, not seen." https://www.rektmag.net/home/2016/12/13/artist-spotlight-toma-kezic

rooftop renegade The seering sun saturates the rooftops as Dulphine climbs into something a little more comfortable. Apartments in the distance look ahead as they try to catch a glimpse of this bashful beauty.  Hair turned to the side, as the wind whisks its fingers through her strands, she takes a deep breath as she peers over the edge to see the cityscape mold itself against the sun's stroke.  Find clear skies, tasteful teasers of mischievous rooftop frolicking, and some decisive perspective from Katya Simkin to bring you a late Christmas present.

Morning Tenderness Bathed in the softness of morning light, this series captures the intimate moment between rest and awakening. Through gesture, texture, and movement, it reflects a quiet dialogue with the self—an acceptance of the body, the present moment, and the promise of a new day.

Calm "I'm Nils Heck from Darmstadt in Germany. I prefer to shoot on 35mm film because I love the process that it involves. Furthermore, this is compounded by the fact that my images are tangible from the beginning of the process.  In November, I met Amy Verlaun from Wonderwall Management, and we burned some rolls together. I shot her with no makeup and some clothes she had brought with. We just hung out, drank coffee and talked about the nuances of life.  I would call the story "Calm" because she was so relaxed in front of the camera and the pictures came out in a similar fashion. My only hope is that one day we will meet again and create more together." Photographer: Nils Heck Model: Amy Verlaan https://www.rektmag.net/home/2016/12/20/calm

snow white in the red light Alicia recently met Marius very spontaneously in Hamburg, and after getting on so well, decided to shoot in a small but cosy apartment in the red light district. They chatted about life, listened to music, and with the flashing neon lights shifting their way in and out of the apartment, they decided to have some fun and create a set of photos that reflect the wild and untamed youth of the current generation.

Twin Swim Born and raised in Siargao, the surfing capital of the Philippines, it was only a matter of time before these sisters picked up a board to learn how to surf. Now, Aping & Ikit Agudo are up and coming long boarders in the local surfing scene. Out of the water and into the lush tropical grounds of Lotus Shores Resort, we dressed the pair up in swimwear and accessories from independent Filipino brands. We were blown away with how they worked the camera, they’re gorgeous on and off their surfboards.
