Night Hawks

 The first work I saw from him was  and that painting drag me inside of that scene I couldn’t take my eyes of   so many histories came to my mind about those people in that Phillies diner.   After that I wanted to see more about his work all images he made was an amazing piece of art with a particular story.  The light was a highpoint also but what I used to like more about his work was the felling of loneliness and sadness in contrast with the colors and contrast.

Inspirations for me are when you grab all that you see and blend with all that you know.  I found the work of Camilla  Akrans amazing, there is so much of Hopper in her work, the same light contrast and the loneliness in some subjects, with a delicate sexiness, amazing job she does. I’m not sure if she was influenced by Hopper’s work but I’m sure they have very similar esthetic.   Camilla is represented by management+artists And you can see more of her work here http://www.managementartists.com/#/b/portfolio/0/1/ 

all art deserves some atention even if it’s bad art,   so if you suck don’t worry you may have an exhibition  in a museum.

Faye Taylor by Joseph Story

JOSEPH STORY makes a very cool work with one small difference, he likes to grab his models,  yes  that’s what you heard,  he grabs his models, good thing he is not in America or he would become the target of some purist church or end up as tabloid material maybe  just be sued by some wanna be gold digger model. Anyway he is in UK and has literally grab his model. What I think is cool about this is he  puts the viewer  not only as  just a voyeur,  but also inside  the image.  He cast gorgeous models and get from then not only poses but asoft  erotic attitude.  Check his Blog at http://thedirtystory.blogspot.com

 There is so many more I would like to work, what I think inspires me in a woman is not only the first glance beauty but also the expressions, the eyes, some faces that you just can stop look, also what I love in a model is how they would be able to be someone diferent being thenselves, these strong and beautifull  women knows how to play with their looks and styles and they are elegant and charming, they are any photographer’s dream.
