6. ALESSANDRO ROCCHI

          Rocchi's works really catch my eye. Along with having great subjects and great angles it made me feel that I was really in the scene. I also like his style because he consistently has a unique way of positioning and focusing the camera that made his photos specifically interesting.

          Samaras did many fantastic works. He lets us know more about the marine. He is also good at shooting underwater as you can see many underwater models shooting in his portfolio. Marine life is beautiful and most of them are colourful, that is what we can rarely see in our daily life. I always like to go to aquarium because we can find and explore more about the fantasy of marine and that is also why I like his works.

He travels to many countries and captures many fascinating portraits. Many of his photos are considered as documentary, you can understand their culture through his photographs.

2. ERIK JOHANSSON

Erik Johansson, Photographer & Retoucher

          Erik Johansson is a photographer and retoucher from Sweden based in Berlin, Germany. To Erik photography is just a way to collect material to realise the ideas in his mind with a problem solving approach. There is no CGI or stock photos in Erik's work, just complex combinations of his own photographs.

          Johansson's photographs give me an illusive feeling yet can feel the reality within. His concept is unique and he is skilful at retouching and photographing. Fake is a new real. It is just like our society, everything seems so real but you do not even see the truth behind it. People always assume what they see, they do not usually think from other aspects.
