This week our digital studio is graced by the virtual presence of Cape Town-based artist, Mariette Kotze. We have long been enraptured by Mariette's unique art form: a process whereby she creates entirely singular images through one-off combinations of ink, water and solvents on the surface of a dual-lens scanner.

In this concise but enlightening conversation, Mariette and Rachel discuss the former's creative origins, the nitty-gritty of her extraordinary creative workflow and how she crafts her expansive, heavenly Instagram feed.

You can learn more about Mariette's absolutely fascinating medium on her website. Her Instagram is also totally worth a follow, FYI.

Explore Mariette's divine Artist Wallpaper Collection on the Orms Print Room website.

In this episode, we referred back to a recording from Season One of Orms Air where we spoke with charismatic scanographer Mishal Weston. Dive into that full conversation over here. 

This week in our digital studio we are joined in conversation by Fabrice Turikume, the creative eye behind the Laidbackfabio fashion Instagram. After many months of obsessing over Fabrice's ridiculously cool outfits, we were thrilled to have him join us on Orms Air.

In this wholesome discussion, Fabrice speaks about his creative partnership with his sister, Celestine, gives us a sneak peak inside his camera bag, covers the rise in tools that are making content creation more accessible, and shares how he constructs the perfect 90's inspired vintage look.

When talking about his kit bag, Fabrice mentions that he often rents lenses from Orms when he needs a wider selection of focal lengths on certain shoots. You can discover our full range of professional gear rental options on our website.

Fabrice uses Adobe Lightroom Mobile to edit most of the photographs on his personal Instagram. He finds that it is faster, more accessible and more convenient to have his editing software on the same device that he uses to post his images online.

In the part of the conversation where Rachel and Fabrice discuss the power of smartphone photography, Fabrice mentions a creator by the name of Maria whose ethereal, magical photography moves him. You can find her on Instagram.

For those Capetonians who are looking to make more sustainable fashion choices, Fabrice highly recommends Bangbang Vintage Market, Just Your Luck CPT, Dreamland Vintage, and Coats For Africa.

If you enjoy retro-inspired fashion, do yourself a favour and and bless your eyes by following Fabrice on his incredibly stylish Instagram. You can also check out the photography business he jointly runs with Celestine via their website.
