The leaves are golden and red, the
air is chilled, and there’s a sense
of wondrous change as winter
approaches. In this issue of PicsArt
Monthly there’s a superb collection of
articles, photo galleries, and tutorials
for you to curl up with and enjoy on a
cold evening while sipping some hot
tea or a cappuccino.
Black and white photos capture the
mystery of everyday life, the tension
between intimacy and detachment.
Marco Giussani’s photos crystalize the
transient moments in public places
that strangers share, where they
aren’t strangers for a moment.
Garine Tcholakian visits Yves Rocher’s
hometown of La Gacilly in France and
immerses herself in the environment,
culture, and scenery that inspired the
entrepreneur in so many ways.
The transition from autumn to
winter has an element of strangeness
that British photographer Kirsty
Mitchell taps into with her beguiling
photos based on fairy tales from her
childhood. Her work is a mind-bending
combination of theatre, film sets, and
paintings, all within her masterful
photographic techniques. Our
interview with her sheds much light
on how she creates such fascinating
photos.
Some of you might remember when
photography involved more chance,
before digital took over analog. At
times, photographers would end up
keeping and even focusing on the
random “mistakes” in their photos.
Now this has re-emerged as glitch
photography, an interesting trend in
which digital artists are again using
“mistakes” or other interferences in
their work to add layers of texture to
photos.
There’s much more in the November
issue, including new tutorials and a
special message by our PicsArt CEO in
honor of PicsArt's third birthday. So
make sure to sit back and enjoy. As
always, feel free to write to us with
comments and feedback.
