because i am so interested in photography (though i'm not a photographer by any means), i spend a lot of time looking to other photographers for inspiration. it honestly doesn't take very much to impress me. art is one of those things that is so incredibly subjective and personal that it's difficult to not like what another person is trying to portray, as long as it's real.
anyways, my most recent find is the photography of helmut newton. well, he's not really a find seeing as he was probably one of the most famous photographers of the 20th century... but his urban-erotic style is really intriguing to me. and, as far as i'm concerned, anyone with the ability to somehow combine erotica and nudity with raw society deserves a nod coming from my direction.
i love the small details he creates in his photography. the hands being held behind their backs really makes this photo for me.
interesting fact about this one: the woman on the right is actually his wife.
