GOALS VS. RESOLUTIONS: what’s the difference?
New years resolutions are often things we wish were different but we’re not really ready to change. Whereas a meaningful goal is something we want to do for ourselves.
Happy New Year to all of you! 🎉
You are more and more following us on this page and we wanted to thank you for the support so far. The best is still yet to come and we will work harder towards our goals.

FOCUS ON: Dominique Fiteu
Also known as , is a 21 year-old film photographer and videographer based in New York City. Growing-up, nothing could predict that Dominique was heading to a successful career in photography. In fact, he always planned on playing professional soccer but life led him down a different path when he broke his ankle the first day of practice. After that, he found an old film camera at home and decided to use his newly acquired free time to learn how to use it. Three months later, his devotion and hard work brought him to New York Fashion Week where he was shooting shows. Focused on building genuine connections and developing his skills, Dominique has built an impressive portfolio including work with Brent Faiyaz, GoldLink, Alton Mason and Aweng Chuol to only name a few.
There is something unique about his style, something raw and authentic which makes you feel the vibe of the precise moment in time when the image was captured.
Immerse yourself in his vibrant work with this selection of some of our favorite clichés from Dominique. 🖤
Let’s start the week with a positive mindset. Even if things didn’t go as planned, thank yourself for making it through each day. When you look back at 2020 don’t think of it as a year of pain, but a year of growth. You are a better you, despite all the hardship. 🪴

VIDEO OF THE WEEK:
joanna and Laylow delivered a mesmerising video for "Demons" taken from joanna's debut album, which will be released in 2021. Directed by Marius Gonzales, the video takes us into a cinematic universe, both dark and sensual, inspired by the movie The Fallen Angels by Wong Kar-Wai, and by the work of directors Gaspard Noé and Nicolas Winding Refn. The visual shows a unique alchemy between the two artists which makes it one of the most striking productions of this year-end.
