Last week, I found the artist Aaron Kotowski. I found him from the website where I also found Calvin Lockwood (www.wonderfulmachine.com/specialty/conceptual/usa/photographer/aaronkotowski). Last week, I needed help with an idea. I was lost. I was searching through websites trying to fid something I liked. However, nothing popped up. I had the idea to go back to the website that I looked at a few weeks ago (url above). I saw this image and wanted to do something similar to it.
Aaron Kotowski has a really nice website, with beautiful images. www.aaronkotowski.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=9937&Akey=G4YBGL8X
His style is similar to what I have been researching over the past couple of months, so I'm glad that I found his work. He focuses on the shadows and highlights, and also the overlay style to add a soft-light to give it that 3-D, painterly mix photograph. But what makes his work unique to previous artists, is that he has a lot of conceptual work. But it is a must that you check out his website. He shoots all kinds of photography. After looking at many websites over the past few months, his definitely stands out.

Aaron Kotowski is a graduate of The Rochester Institute of Technology with a BFA in Professional Photographic Illustration. He has a quote on his website that I like, "My goal is to not make images you see, but images you feel". This is a interesting quote, and a successful "goal" in life. He is an award winning artist and he has worked in advertising and documentary work for Land Rover, Caserta Design and Arrive Magazine just to name a few.
I had a shoot last Friday, and here is the result. I will talk more about the image on Wednesday in my idea/concept blog.
