Nothing in the world but you by Rosaline Shahnavaz

Rosaline Shahnavaz is an English photographer based in London whose work has been featured in publications such as AnOther, Dazed Digital, Aesthetica and TANK.

Rosaline has recently published ‘Nothing in the world but you’, a zine showcasing personal photos of her boyfriend Ben shot on different trips and escapes they’ve taken to just be together and away from everything else. The film images give the viewer an intimate insight into the couple’s relationship and the times spent together in those remote places.

In a recent interview with the Telegraph, Rosaline talked about one of her favourite images, which is featured in the zine (third photograph below): “We’d had a long day driving and gone for a swim and then collapsed in the room, I like the way he has angled his face so that the light lit him quite beautifully. It wasn’t planned or staged, it was just spontaneous. It was a very tender moment. The way he looks so relaxed, it’s as if I’m not there. He is able to be totally himself in that photograph.“

Gabriel sent us the two of their latest publications, “Fui Pra Israel E Curti Demais” and “Montarias Altamente Perigosas”. You can find more information about Sometimes Always’ projects on: www.sometimes-always.com

Fibra Casa Editora

Fibra Casa Editora is an independent publishing project founded by Buenos Aires-based Flavio Ariel Affonso three years ago. We discovered Flavio’s work with Fibra last year and a few weeks ago we exchanged some emails with him to know a little more about this interesting project.

“Fibra is a recent project, an independent publishing house with focus on hunting and collecting fiction moments on everyday life. It’s a personal experiment moved by an amateur and mutant enthusiasm. I started to do projects to learn how to do it – edition, design, printing, distribution, launches, producing, sales. That’s how the Sponge Collection started, focused on short stories, poetry and drawing.

After that, I wanted to do something with all the wonderful photographers I knew from Cíclope, the online magazine I edit, so I started with the Sr. Dalton collection, a series of zines printed in monotone. I also started to interview some people I know from across on the web and on the streets, that’s how Explora started, to know a little more about the person behind the work.

Nowdays I’m more concentrated in turning Fibra into a content generator, collaborating with other people or companies, but always as an amateur. I’m more interested in the process than the final achievement, because I believe that the best thing to do is to learn about the different ways of doing something”
