Trashcam Project

The ‘Trashcam Project’ transforms dumpsters into traveling pinhole cameras that roll around the city of Hamburg. The images are breathtaking: slightly vague black-and-white city drama. Would you believe that these beautiful photos were taken from inside the dirtiest objects on the city streets?

Vom Bleiben

Vom Bleiben documents the moment in which the night at the techno club is over and the visitors have left the location. It is the moment in which the traces of the event become visible. The cleaning-lights illuminating the room evoke a sense of awakening in the visitors. When the clubs close at daytime, Andre and Daniel enter their rooms and the battlefield that has been left behind.

Silver & Light

This project was created with the same spirit that America was founded on. Our intentions are to connect everyone in America through the lens of this camera and social networking sites. We can’t do this without you. We want to tell your story and show your city or town through photographs of you, and people you know. As we travel around America looking for people and places to shoot you will be able to keep track of where we are going and help us decide where we go next.

S/S 2012 Blue Cone Colony

The Blue Cone Colony is a joint venture between Uniforms for the Dedicated and Tree Hotel, two creative forces sharing the vision of a sustainable direction of both design and work process. For similar reasons Tree Hotel co-exists with the constant forests of the north, the clothing line of S/S 12 combines natural and handpicked fabrics made to grow more beautiful with time and wear.

Respect the architect

A serie based on Franck’s work and exploration during 2009 to 2012. With this work he wanted to respectfully capture the essence of the architect’s mind in one photograph. Limited edition of the photographs are available on his website.

Aerial Photography

Klaus Leidorf has a unique perspective on the world. The bird-like photographer has a great advantage when flying. Ask him how he gets his stunning shots and he’ll tell you that he’s a pilot of a Cessna 172 and that he takes pictures and steers at the same time. How? “The plane can be steered by my feet and then I open the window to photograph,” he says. Be sure to visit his Flickr account, where he has stored hundreds of beautiful shots.

Earth

Twins

This portrait serie is one to watch a bit longer. These twins have the same DNA. Some look so much alike, that they could use each other’s passports. It’s beautiful to see twins photographed so clean. The photos where taken at the annual “Twins Days Festival” in Twinsburg, Ohio by talented New York based photographer Martin Schoeller. Check out his smart (and very simple) website too.

About us

The idea of a website where the overload of creative material on the internet would be filtered, aroused in late 2010. Not a renewing idea on itself, but Defringe is different. Defringe stands for quality and that results in the intuitive, comprehensive and award-winning layout.

You might ask yourself what Defringe means. It is a feature in Adobe Photoshop [ Layer > Matting > Defringe ] and literally means: “Blends the pixels along the edge of a selection to seamlessly merge it with a new background”. This sentence captures the essence of the website. Out of hundreds of posts, only the best appear: the ones that fit seamlessly into Defringe’s vision. Our slogan complements the essence: “Cleaning up the edges”. We chop off the raw edges, leaving a clean and neat outcome.

Because of the extraordinary elegance of Defringe, we can’t stay behind in social networks. Facebook and Twitter are essential in our (creative) lives these days. Make sure you follow or like Defringe, so that you are the first one to know about spectacular new posts.

Regards, The Defringe crew.
