"I'm from a generation of kids that gets high, gets naked, skinny dips in mountain lakes, stares searchingly at ourselves in bathroom mirrors, giggles and hugs, shoplifts and pukes and crashes together on dingy mattresses on the floor, that are the cool giddy things who populate the pictorial worlds of photographers Ryan McGinley and his predecessors, Larry Clark, Nan Goldin, and Wolfgang Tillmans. That's the photography I love, that's what inspires me the most."

life in soft focus

images via myspace

sébastien mazière is a 29 year old photographer living and working in paris. he makes such dreamy images with their pensive heroines, softly diffused light and yellow-toned nostalgia. i love the way he has captured the girl in the fourth photo as the wind blows through her hair, her eyebrows raised and lips parted as though she is just about to speak. she looks so french and haphazardly chic. i ran across some of these images in some magazine or other a year or two ago, and promptly cut out them out to stick in my little scrapbook of inspirations. they have stayed with me, because this is just the sort of mood i want to capture in my own photographs.

gia coppola

22-year old photographer gia coppola is francis ford coppola's granddaughter and sofia coppola's niece. she studied photography at bard college in upstate new york. i like the disjointed noirish narratives of this series, with its looming shadows and moody tones of black and white. like shuffled film stills, they hint at an uneasy story about a threatening presence that is always just off-camera. i'm interested to hear about her creative plans after graduating. in a family like that there's certainly a lot to live up to!
