The cameras featured in this collection are the iconic Leica 35mm and Hasselblad medium format.

WHO IS OSF?

OSF, also known as Ovi Faroq, is a celebrated artist and investor with a background in trading illiquid, high-yielding, and problem loans. Born and raised in Cambridge, England, he now splits his time between England and the US. Although he didn't debut his initial NFT artwork until October of 2021, he has since established an extensive portfolio, garnered an impressive group of collectors, and amassed a devoted following. OSF's art can now be found on any NFT marketplace. Notable events in his life include Snoop Dogg purchasing two of his pieces, the Rektguy collection selling for over 26k ETH in volume, and co-founded several companies, including Degenz, Tabz NFT, and Canary Labs.

INSPIRATION BEHIND OSF'S ART

OSF had a love for art since he was a child. However, he gave it up when he went to university. Through being in the Crypto space, he rediscovered his love for art through the rise of NFTs and was inspired to start creating art again. Initially, he was hesitant to pursue it, but after creating a doodle of a semi-autobiographical character during a meeting at work, he decided to try creating digital art. He minted his first piece on Foundation, which surprisingly sold for half an ETH. Despite his second piece selling for less, he continued to create more pieces, including his first animated one, NFT NYC, which featured flashing lights and skyscrapers in the background. OSF is fascinated by the nightlife of different cities, which often inspires his work.

Join us and OSF for a special edition of VeeFriend's Weekly Twitter Spaces, 5, 5 @ 5:55 this Friday, to learn more about his journey and the collaboration: https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1DXGyvYWpjZJM
