In my search for inspiration for my Wonderland project through some amazing blogs, teacher references, friend references and books among other things, I found a set number of photographers that keep a flow of continuous awesomeness on their part. Here's a small list of legendaries I crave for today.
Gregory Crewdson

It was my friend Champ that showed it to me at first, then my teacher featured that photographer in our photo class. There is clearly something I really adore about him: the narrative each image creates, a great knowledge of artificial lighting, a painting effect that surrounds the images. Aahhh, if I want to become a good photographer one day, I wish if anything to follow his footsteps.

As I was doing my wonderland project, my teacher suggested me to look at her work. I was so inspired by her creativity on the subject I was exploring. One day, I aim to become as good as her.

Tamara Lichtenstein
I really really really love her subjects and how she makes them look sooooo beautiful. I wish I was able to do that. For now, I can only envy and admire. She also manages to pull of some sweeeeeettt double exposures.

She is sooo lucky to have such beautiful environment and subjects to shoot with. Eyes can't stop looking at her pictures.

Danny Taillon
He's the Champ, a schoolmate and great friend of mine that I admire, over-admire and idolize. Zen and serious, highly selective, showing only but the strongest of his pictures, there is something about his series that speak so much to me. A scary level of consistency, technicality that inspires and drives me to make my series stronger.

Ellen Kooi
I love her narratives. Very vivid, quite huge (when I look at the size of the prints in the rare videos that showcase them).
