Ruven Afanador

Ruven Afanador is considered one of the leading photographers working in celebrity and fashion photography. His work appears in most major fashion magazines in the world. Ruven Afanador is an internationally renowned photographer of limitless imagination, powerful vision and profound sense of self. His work is distinguished by an opulent classicism nuanced by an irreverent point of view.

He was born in Colombia and lived there until adolescence. At fourteen, Afanador moved to the United States to attend school in the Midwest, a starkly different place from the magical world of his childhood, but one he saw as full of possibilities. And then, while studying art, he discovered photography. “From my first assignment I knew that photography would be my life’s passion”, says Afanador. With that passion, he would transform ordinary reality into captivating splendor.

In addition to beautiful portraits he makes fabulous photo’s mostly in black and white tones with a good feel on shapes. Like Richard Avedon, he uses sometimes skeletons as models. Or two women in friendship and conflict with each other. His Colombian roots are reflected in the flamenco like women with fans.

Little People

Recently I discovered the Little People blog, the tiny street art project, and I really like it. How cool to make such nice photos with little dolls you can't even see when you're upright. And then thinking of the camera that should capture the one and only image just when the lil'peep is hanging 'Sugar High'. Yeah, a cute discovery!

Bruno Dayan

One of the decent series by Bruno Dayan. Strength in simplicity, beautifully simple and with a good dose of light.

Avedon fashion

The new book that stands on my table: Avedon Fashion 1944-2000. A beautiful source of inspiration and a must have!



With photo's of Twiggy, Suzy Parker with Robin Tattersall, Veruschka and many more...

Tim Walker

Each photo is a real fairy tale. It succeeds the London fashion photographer Tim Walker every time to make a beautiful composition with a great view at the moment. It is a representation of drama and beauty, of unbelievable and imaginative locations and a lot of attention to detail. His work is used in the campaign of the perfume of Dior.
