Inspiration: Phil Toledano

Phil Toledano is that fantastic combination of commercial and fine art photographer that one doesn't always find easily. I have great respect for anyone who can live with the day to day rigors of assignment photography and still find the time and energy to produce work destined for books and galleries.

His project work has a remarkable breadth. Days With my Father is deeply personal. Bankrupt and The United States of Entertainment are quite political with a touch of satire. And Phonesex and A New Kind of Beauty are social commentary.

His assignment work is funny, creative, and extremely well crafted.

Well worth a look.
