The ELEKTRYXX Photo Comics Series concluded its journey with the release of issue six. Born from a vision to present photography through thematic storytelling, the series brought to life an engaging fusion of abstract photography, compelling narratives, poetry, and metaphors, weaving together a tapestry of diverse ideas. The collaboration with Amax Talent played a pivotal role in making this project a reality, while the unwavering support of friends and family pushed the boundaries of creativity. The exceptional graphic design by Tori O’Campo and professional printing by Mixam added the final touches to this unique artistic endeavor.
