His images are stunning fashion shots. The models are gorgeous, the outfits are intricate, everything is eye-candy. He plays with black a lot. Many images have absolute black to the point that details are removed. Everything about his images just screams, look at me more.
Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin are a Dutch fashion photographer duo, well known for their work for fashion magazines, advertising campaigns, and for their independent art work. - wikipedia
I am seeing a lot of pretty faces. They are obviously models posing to take a picture. Some are even famous people I recognize. No way I cold ever take these types of shots, but there isn't anything technically inspiring here either.
David LaChapelle is a photographer and video/commercial/film director who works in the fields of fashion, advertising, and fine art photography, and is noted for his surreal, unique and often humorous style. LaChapelle's work has been described as surrealist, grotesque, shocking and ironic. Ingrid Sischy, long-time editor of Interview magazine, has said there are three main aspects to his "strong and individualistic" photography: a sense of humour, political awareness and social awareness. His use of celebrities exaggerates aspects of their personalities and their personal lives. - wikipedia
His work is more interesting than the last artist, but I guess the humor is lost on me. Most of what I see is just plain weird. Some is even a little disturbing.
