inspire

Lately I have stumbled across some ridiculously amazing photography when looking for inspiration for my work. This first artist Federico Erra will by no exaggeration make you cry when you look at his photos. His girlfriend models most of the images with her striking, unconventional beauty. Another series of his embodies the theme of sex and psychology. It is breath-taking, and these photos below do not even begin to describe his talent. 


Another artist I am quite enamored with is Jingna Zhang. Her color palette and ability to capture movement are astonishing. 

Also, there is Rineke Dijkstra. This artist I have come across a few times previously, and I almost bought a book of their photography when I was visiting the Chicago Institute. The obvious and minimalistic use of figure and portraiture are so piercing and raw, you can not help but stare in awe.

All of these artists I have linked in my Artists I Admire section. So check them out. Now.
