Photographie Inspiration: Mister Hoveeto

6.20.2013

Being able to capture the beauty of a beautiful city is one thing,... but what Paris street photographer Mister Hoveeto succeeds in doing in his hometown (and other major cities) is spotlight delicate cracks within the everyday allure, draw light from a city's shadows and humanize the cold urban landscape. The streets for him are "the arena where the theatre of life is played out naturally", and there is where he can emphasize the loneliness of a large metropolis.

About his process, Hoveeto recalls the words of the late great André Kertész, "I interpret what I feel at any given moment, not what I see."


Photographie Inspiration: Emmanuel Sougez

French photographer Emmanuel Sougez's Still Life, Trois Poires (Three Pears) - the photo on the top left - is so captivating in its simplicity; so evocative in its beauty. At once, it looks familiar and brand new as I can't recall ever seeing it before but feeling like I have. Like favorite books, photographs seem to change over time based on our experience and perspective...

Sougez produced a large collection of nudes and Paris street scenes as well, but I can't stop thinking about the three pears...
