Photographic Inspiration: Philip Lorca DiCorcia

Another great photographic inspiration found through Sarfati's book was Philip Lorca diCorcia. Following the American suburban nostalgia tradition, DiCorcia produces beautiful images of the characters that compose his reality. I'm getting more and more interested in the power of lightining and the fantastic quality of twilight DiCorcia reveals to be a master when it comes to transform ordinary moments into magical depictions of real life. When the set is not carefully staged, he hides lights in the pavements of streets around the world that distinguishes his subject, ramdon people, from the rest of the scenery (as in his series Heads).
