Based in Japan, Christian Nolasco documents the quiet poetry of daily life through black and white street photography.
The images are fragments of coldness and solitude, like memories left behind in winter air—gentle, distant, and hauntingly familiar.
What is more important is that Christian appears to notice the fleeting: weather changes, snowflakes, melting snow. This isn’t just a coincidence or a one-time occurrence. As seen in many photographs, the spontaneous and non-replicable are held in high regard.
By the means of Christian’s photography, the arrested movement transforms from ephemeral impressions into enduring documentation. As the author says, “I take photos to document things I see in my daily life.”

In this debut issue, 16 artists from around the world took part in an editorial experiment where the theme emerged organically from the submitted artworks, shaped by what they had in common, and not predefined by editors.
We’re a team of writers using our craft to spotlight art in its most honest form. RAWGUE. started as a bi-monthly editorial experiment where each issue’s theme is dictated by the submitted work, thus removing editorial bias from the equation and preserving a more raw approach. We focus on all forms of poetry: written, photographed, painted, drawn, and filmed.
