David Burlacu is a 25 year old photographer. Before March 2012 you could easily bump into him at every indie or rock concert in Bucharest. Easy to spot, tall, blocking the fans’ view, always focused on the movement on the stage, always laughing and enjoying the pictures he had to take. Whenever a local band would hear the name David, none of them asked "David who?". Because back here if you’re under 26 and you enjoy the nightlife, you have definitely met David at least once.
Mihai Despan is a 28 year old photographer. The first feelings I got while browsing through his work were coziness, peace and honesty.

To learn more about him and get the chance to enjoy his work, don’t hesitate to read this article.
Marius Paraschiv is drawing. That is the most important thing for him right now. As this interview went on, his passion for digital art simply filled the whole atmosphere. There are people who see this as a 9 to 5 job, and there are people for which digital art is some sort of breathing machinery. Marius is one of them.
