Finger On the Pulse

American singer/songwriter, Benson Boone is blazing hot right now. At just 21, he’s signed to Warner Records, touring extensively and building a rabid fanbase across the world. His latest EP, Pulse has recently dropped, showing the songwriter’s expressive skills as a writer and singer – honed through Boone’s collaborations and workshopping with Imagine Dragons’ frontman, Dan Reynolds. Not content to confine his creativity to stage and studio, Benson’s linked up with Creator Studio for his merch line, a project that’s close to his heart. We caught up with him to talk about influences, architecture, and the significance of merch to him and his fans.

Based in Stockholm, Fotografiska has risen fast to become one of the vanguards of photography as an art form.

With a thriving store, and restaurant as popular as its galleries, Fotografiska has now linked with Creator Studio to expand its merch offering. We chatted to Eva-Lena Degerhäll, director of retail at Fotografiska about the experience so far.
