Aaron Nace has been a full time professional photographer and digital retoucher for over ten years and considers himself an artist. He graduated with a degree in Industrial Design from the college of design at NC State University. Aaron often constructs quite heavily manipulated images that create a magical/fantasy atmosphere. A lot of his editing is very realistic which is a focus of his although many of his photographs are greatly photoshopped and therefore appear artificial. The above image I find to be very inspiring. It has a beautiful natural feel to it but still with an element of enchantment. I am really interested in the work of Annie Leibovitz and Alexia Sinclair who both set the bench mark in beautiful and magical photographs and Aaron Nace is another photographer who captures these concepts through his work.

I love a photograph that has a hint of a story behind it. It creates an interesting conceptual narrative which adds a certain depth within a photograph. The image has striking warm tones and colours with stunning directional lighting and a dreamlike setting. The over sized teddy and women with a childlike persona add to the dreamy feel of the photograph. I draw a lot of inspiration from images like this and try to include the same qualities within my own work.
