visual study 01 — distort/ed realities

in a world obsessed with clarity, there’s something magnetic about distortion. A pull to the imperfect! Visuals that twist perception away from what feels certain, making clarity less important than feeling. This collection gathers images that interrupt the familiar and sketch out a mood caught between beauty, collapse, reality and illusion.

With a mission to build a global creative community where artists are seen, valued, and connected, KONY is breaking free from industry standards—one feature, one collaboration, and one story at a time. ⭐️

Introducing Vonny Lorde, a Toronto-based photographer turning portraits into presence.

After an injury rerouted their path in sports, @lastnamelorde picked up a camera and never looked back. But like all great pivots, it led to something deeper. Not just photography as a medium, but as a language. And Vonny speaks it fluently.

Their work thrives where youth culture, fashion, and music collide. But portraiture? That’s where it gets visceral. You don’t just see the subject, you feel them. And that’s fully intentional. Their lens is radical, joyful, and textured—centering Black agency, style, and story on their own terms.

Rooted in legacy and inspired by their Jamaican grandmother’s journey to Canada, Vonny shoots through what they call “a Black gaze.”

Frame by frame, they give their subjects the power to architect their own narratives.
It’s not just documentation. It’s self-definition.

Here’s a look at some of our favorite portraits they’ve captured! 🖤⭐️

If you’re not tuning into @heds.world , you’re missing the frequency entirely.

Founded in 2021 by @deffiedeff , @sober_rob , and @0xcambot , heds started as a digital-first platform with underground producers worldwide dropping music videos and experimental beat tapes. What began as a mixtape series has evolved into a full-blown culture engine.

Enter carRADIO: part road trip, part rave, and always vibes. DJs perform from the backseat, blending Hip Hop, Jersey Club, Baile, Hard Techno, Afrobeats, Disco, and more. You’ll hear the unexpected, curated with taste, edge, and community-first love.

What sets heds apart? It’s not just about the sets, it’s about open-source creativity. Just raw sound and visual experimentation. And yes, you’ll find their footprint across TikTok, YouTube, and of course, IG, where every video you see feels like you’re at an actual party.

While the rest are busy riding waves, heds is building culture .. loud, local, and deeply online.
And remember: If you’re a hed, you’re ahead. ⭐️🖤
