My name is Riccoo. I would call myself an up and coming photographer and questionably an up and coming model. I would say some inspirations would be GodlySinner or Marta from instagram. I think that just seeing her pictures really made me want to jump more into photography. I think the reason i'd like to be a photographer is because I take interest in beautiful things and I love to be able to remember all the beautiful things whether it be my friends, random people, sky lines, water, etc. The reason I like to capture these images is because things are never the same. Like for example, if you take a picture of a city and try to take the same picture ten years later it would be two different pictures. I wouldn't say I've had any real struggles except the wait to get my Canon T5. Some of my goals would be to gain enough money, whether it be from becoming a model, actor, interior designer, or which ever one of those jobs I'd end up persuing in life, to just take a year break and travel the world and take pictures of every single thing. From every street to every sky. If you'd like to see some of my work you can follow me on instagram @riccoo my tumblr is @carefreeprince and my twitter is @rxccoo
Even though she’s only been behind the lens for about 6 months, Darcel has been interested in the craft for 2 years. She has an eye to capture all the right details so starting with street photography was a great choice for her. Her ability to capture the grittiness of the cityscape yet keep it simple is what I admire most from her work. My names Liliana Hernandez and I live in New York City, home to opportunity. I come from an artistic back ground where even my great grandfather was an artist. Art was always a mandatory skill to learn. Growing up, like some kids, I grew up bullied. At the time it was a problem, but it in fact helped me grow. I was always made fun of for looks and such. And that's where my present day inspiration comes from. I do portrait photography not to take photos of what a person can portray. But to bring out what a person is within. I struggled starting my photography because no one ever really thought I had it in me. And I guess you can say I found inspiration in that too. Wanting to prove people wrong, I did the best of my abilities to do just that. And when I got into art school, I thought I was queen because no one ever though I would do something grand in my life and i knew getting into art school was my one of many accomplishments. It's now almost 2015, one year later, and I have gotten various job offers as a photographer. Photography has gotten me so many opportunities and I can't wait to reach the top. My goals with my photography are to continue portrait photography but to specialize in fashion photography. To work with celebrities and the best of the best. Anything is possible if you just believe, and I truly do believe. ![]() Buffalo Exchange, one of my personal favorite thrift shops in NYC.

These women dress for success as a living. On regular day basis they were designer pieces such as Givenchy, Alexander Wang and Louboutin. For special occasion they might wear designer pieces such as Lanvin, Tomford, Celine, Versace, Maison Martin Margiela, Balmain and Balenciaga. Although these beautiful ladies waste a huge income on their outfits, you could do it for less. It's all about finding your way around it and not imitating but improving. You can get similar outfits as celebrities but still make them your own without spending half as much. Stay tuned, later this week we will let you know more stores to keep you looking stylish instead of looking like an imitator. Have a great day, chrisangel Hey girls!
