For Federico Ferrari, I am particular fond of his vintage colours and fashion taste. The light is what I always want to try but failed maybe because my techniques are not mature enough. Lots of photos were taken in studio and used in fashion magazines. Federico Ferrari (born 15 September 1969) is actually an Italian philosopher and art critic. Eugenio Viola writes of Ferrari, "In a time when many continue to lament what they see as the inexorable decline of theory’s role in criticism, “Arte essenziale” (Essential Art), curated by philosopher Federico Ferrari, does its part to placate concerns with an exploration of the ties that link artistic practice and philosophical speculation. The show focuses on the Wesen, or essence, of a work of art—a notion that has always been inextricably linked with a search for the new."

Christian CoignyChristian Coigny is one of my favourite photographer because his black&white series of photo provided me a lot of inspirations. He sees human's body from a different point of art and tend to shows the dark but real humanity. He always goes straight to the heart of his photography, for which I really admire.
Here are some information about him: Based near Lausanne on the shores of Lake Geneva, Christian Coigny has for the past 30 years developed a career in traditional black and white photography in parallel to his work in publicity and fashion. He works primarily with film. His work is anchored in a classical education and strongly influenced by American painters such as Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keefe or Andrew Wyeth, that he discovered during his 5-year stay in San Francisco. Very rapidly important brands called upon him to transpose his personal mark into their advertising campaigns. The poster advertising campaign for the department store Bon Genie Grieder, between 1975 and 1985 marked his return from the United States. His book of portraits of local artists earned him the Vitra «Celebrities» Campaign. Other photographic projects include work for clients such as Hermès, Krug champagnes, Ferretti yachts and Hublot watches, and for many years he has participated in the creation of catalogues and of publicity campaigns for Chopard jewelers of Geneva. He now devotes most of his time to his personal work whilst exhibiting at various galleries and museums in Europe. 1.Richard SandlerIntroduction: Richard Sandler is a street photography veteran, who continues to shoot and show work in galleries. Photographing in black and white, he usually makes either subtle or overt suggestions about social injustice in powerful ways.You won’t see Sandler on the streets much anymore. He feels cell phones have robbed photographers of their subjects. “There is nothing more boring, nothing more nondescript and vacant than a person on a cell phone walking down the street. They seem to be out of the game,” Sandler says. “People are walking around in bubbles.” Inspiration: Richard Sandler is the first street photographer who inspires me to explore the secrets of streets. He shows me the real social life.Now as long as I have time, I will go to downtown to shoot the busy crowd and dream about the life after I graduate and start working.

Lee Jeffries lives in Manchester in the United Kingdom and is widely known for his portraits of the homeless. These portraits have been done in such a way that they look more like religious iconography than just street portraiture. When he first released “Lost Angels” hundreds of blogs and magazines featured his work. He rocked the photographic and artistic communities. Some might not consider this Street Photography because it is portraiture but the process of finding his models, talking to them and researching them has all been done in the streets. Inspiration: His photography is Street Portraiture at it’s best and it has moved the souls of me that have laid eyes upon it. There is no way that a viewer will look upon this collection and not be affected by it in one way or another. His portraits can express the deep inside emotion of models which makes me adore.
