I'm Tamar, 24, in love with photography and all other things that inspire me! Any inspiring tips? Email me at: tamar@overdose.am !

I sometimes stumble upon a photographer whose work immediately gives me a positive case of the jitters. This time it was Ryan McGinley whose photos made me float into surreal worlds, where time seems insignificant and losing yourself is all that matters.

What really amazes me is that he knows exactly how to choreograph the photo by often using gorgeous rural landscapes, beautiful dreamlike colors, (naked) models and still manages to capture the spontaneity of a moment. In one word: WOW!

This guy, among many other projects, shot the cover of Vice Magazine of this year’s March edition, had a solo exhibition in 2007 in Foam and is here in Amsterdam right now to exhibit his new work.

Ryan McGinley’s new exhibition “Somewhere Place” will be on display in Gallery Gabriel Rolt on the Elandsgracht 34 from April 9th until May 14th.
