I consider myself a simple and very classic person, always seek inspiration in the past. In the mode of dress, in music and literature. My inspirations on the photo are the Surrealists who were present in the area of ​​creating fashion: from the photographers who have developed and produced their images in an artistic look, I highlight the work of the American artist and Man Ray photographer, German photographer Erwin Blumenfeld, the pupil Man Ray, the French Guy Bourdin and after the American David LaChapelle, whose peculiarity and hipness of their work to carry as tenuous boundary between fashion and fine art, tax them only as fashion photographers would be a hearsay.

His work, although they have a commercial nature, are endowed with such an innovative vision that easily abstracted in the object / idea for sale behind the images. Your photos are so engaging and eloquent that wander through its photo galleries me is analogous to reading beautiful poems. I can not fail to mention the photographer Irving Penn, who has a friendlier artwork for the picture, consecrating themselves as a fashion photographer. His photographs are extremely significant as the influence of my artistic work. I have great inspiration in music, especially in the compositions of the band Low Roar Ryan Joseph, which conveys melancholy and a particularity in each letra.O photographic essay Just a Habit, it is one of them.

Glauber and I are very similar. I would say that we are soul moaned. Our work has a strong bond that life just approaching. And every day with him has been a gift. We exchanged many ideas, it teaches me a lot about music, about icons, about life. And of course, art is always present ... well there is always an exchange. Maybe they could fit advice on this agenda. We use a Canon SL1 with a 50mm 1.8.

During his almost 10 year career in photography, Carlos Mossmann have always been driven by a need for a throwback to an aesthetic considered earlier, and that is now losing importance in most contemporary works - which is related to the appearance of the photographs. He refers to an aesthetic that in other historical times, investing in content, composition and structural appearance of images; all of which previously had formal importance, and why not say artistic, and nowadays do not seem to have much transcendence between today's photographers. When he put himself in the role of spectator and watch some photos, he noted that some images are the result of an automatic capture and seem not even reveal concerns about the content of the image. He, on the photographic actions, from when he started shooting, on the contrary, try to get the photos that can arouse in the spectator different feelings, and contribute to transform reality and to escape from a pre-established standard today: automatism photographic featuring photographic practices standards. "It is essential that we take into account that today, in this mass society in which we live - in which to add the spectacle of life - in which everything influences everything, and in which we are literate by the mass media and, although we try to control the surrounding influences on them and them - we do not have immunity to contamination of audiovisual and informative spreads disseminated by the surroundings."
