Já pensou em dar às suas fotos o visual característico de jogos em pixel art? Até existem alguns aplicativos com essa proposta na App Store, mas o NeoCam é uma nova solução do tipo que funciona em tempo real, permitindo ajustes instantâneos.

Giovanni Kanter goes to at least one art museum whenever he visits a new city. That’s on top of his regular exploration of galleries in New York, where the 25-year-old ICU nurse lives and studies. He typically discovers new artists and gallery openings through word of mouth, though he has recently started curating his social media feed to serve relevant content (he’s currently in what he terms a “surrealism phase”).

He was raised on visual art; he's the son of painter Marianne Gargour and nephew of mixed-media artist Heather Hutchison and painter-printmaker Mark Thomas Kanter.
