Spanish fashion photographer Diego Diaz is based in Florence, but says his biggest inspiration is his hometown, Màlaga, in Spain. “The light, the colours and the lifestyle of Málaga is something I always try to present in my photos,” he says.

His photography has been featured in C-heads Magazine and on various websites around the web, and at the moment he’s working for a brand called Shield Collection with some really exciting projects.

He’s a master of colour, and I love his warm style.

Here’s some of his work:

I just stumbled over 16 (!) year old San Diego based photographer Jacqueline Rivera’s flickr photostream. And although this isn’t fashion photography, I find her techniques and creativity highly inspirational.

Here’s some of her work:

Katja Rahlwes has been in the fashion business for decades, and started her career as a professional fashion stylist in 1995 after having studied Fashion Design at Studio Bercot in Paris. In 1998 she became chief-fashion editor and photo-editor at BIBA, a major market fashion magazine in Paris. At the same time, she continued to expand her vision as an independent stylist with magazines like Dutch, i-D, Dazed and Confused, Made in USA, Vogue Japan, Index and others. Throughout those years at BIBA she would live a parallel life as a professional stylist and part-time photographer. She said it was, “like having a husband and a lover.” In the first years she mainly shot women she wanted to meet and spend time with. Photography had a very important impact on Rahlwes, and made her feel free and independent in her work. [Wikipedia]

Now you can see her work in magazines like French Vogue, Vogue Nippon, Vogue US, Self Service, Purple fashion, i-D, etc. And she has done work for clients such as Gucci, Miu Miu, Chloé, A.P.C., Martin Margiela, Hysteric Glamour, Levi’s, and others.

Bottom line, her photos are great, here’s a taste of her work:

London based fashion photographer Matt Irwin might be is the next big thing in fashion photography. I tend to feature photographers on this blog that i personally believe has a big future in front of them, but this time it’s a fact. Matt Irwin just landed his first cover for Vogue that will be coming out in October. I first noticed Matt through his contributions to Dazed & Confused.

Here’s some of his work:

Deborah Schwartz represented Jason Nocito has a portfolio full shots of superstars and artists. What I like with his photography is the way he translates his own style in to the shoots of great personalities like Lil Wayne, Kanye West or Mary Kate Olsen.

Here’s a taste of his work:
