Brassai's photographs are very surrealist, he saw the beauty and strangeness behind every day things. This is the same thing I am looking for in my photographs in a more contemporary way. It seems he uses light to create compositions in weird ways, but also bodies without parts cut off from the image, as in the third image where the head is missing; this means the shape we are left with is reminiscent of a woman's body, but surreal at the same time. Taking pictures of parts of the body instead of the whole (especially missing the head and face) has always interested me, I will look out for more of these shots.
