Don Gurewitz has received award after award for this work and it has to be said that this picture alone is one of my favorites!  Personally, I love the way that he captured the island, the water and of course the ship … it’s breathtaking in every form.

If you want talent and raw power, Don Gurewitz  is the photographer to provide it to you – seriously!

When you think about it – there are so many things that people do not know about – photography, specifically fashion photography is one of them. For example, do you know who Patrick Demarchelier is?  Most people do not, however he is one of the most famous fashion photographers of our time and he produces some of the most beautiful pictures in the world.  Patrick Demarchelier was born in 1943 in Paris – that alone has to tell you something.

Patrick Demarchelier has lived in NY since 1975 and has been photographing since 1975 – he actually got into it via freelancing and learning and working with all sorts of photographers, one specifically inspired him though and that was Henri Cartier-Bresson.  In 1992, he actually shot for Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar and from that time on, he has been doing advertising campaigns for all sorts of fashion labels.

Patrick Demarchelier is one high-in-demand photographer and he has earned it!  He has written many photography books and is certainly a fantastic guy behind the camera!

The other cool thing about Jo Duck is the fact that she works with models that are not super high on the model-chain yet.  She actually works mostly with up-and-comers, so if you are looking for a way to get yourself in the modeling industry, Jo Duck could be the chick that helps you with that.

Jo Duck’s work has appeared pretty much everywhere, from countless billboards all the way to tons of different publications – so keep your eyes peeled!

Edgar de Evia’s experience is well known but that is not what I am going to honor here.  If we were a blog looking for photographers that just do all sorts of advertising campaigns and such, we would be a different blog – we are all about fashion photographers and that is exactly what this Mexico-born photographer is all about.

Take this particular picture for example.  I absolutely love the way that it looks, the umbrella, the position of the people and by far the fact that it is in black and white.  Edgar de Evia definitely has talent leaking all over the place and I think that he can absolutely pull off some high editorial things – if he was still alive that is…

One thing that I have noticed about photographers nowadays is that a lot of them have actually lost a lot of their passion.  That is definitely not the case with Raya.  This incredible photographer is actually a local one and while she is not all that popular as of right now, if she can belt out pictures like this one – I have to say that she is going to the top.  Not only is this photographer one that likes to work with people, but she also likes to incorporate animals as much as possible into all of her photography.

In 2005, this particular photographer won a prize at the Cannes and I have to say that I can not blame them for giving her something!  There is something here and I absolutely love everything about this particular picture.  This picture has captured everything inside of it and to be honest, I have fallen completely and totally in love with it.

So take another look at this photo – seriously, take another look at it and tell me that you do not think that this particular photo is going places.
