I introduce myself: I'm a spanish boy aged 18 living obviously in Spain haha I love photography (I started &amp;nbsp;2 years ago and now it's my life, it's me, it's a big part of what I am) and as I see people asking me about different stuff and curious about my work, I thought a blog would be the perfect solution to all this people, so I hope you enjoy it and sorry for my english, if it's not so understable as I'm spanish (I will be writing the texts in both languajes but this post is an exception, only in English).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I created this blog a week ago, and I was thinking of what to write about first (but as I had a lot of work in the university I couldn't write anything, I'm studying public relations and advertising). Well, I saw the Zhang Jingna (known as zemotion) is doing a Giveaway...so what's a better thing to write about to start a blog than my fave photographer? I cannot waste this chance!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why I like Zhang's work...? that's the question and the answer is easy and difficult because it would be too long and I have to synthesize!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I discovered her work relatively recently by a friend, who sent me her deviant. I inmediately fell in love with it. It had a great shock on me. Since then I urged me to improve, to be more creative because I want my work to have that shock on people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Her work is inspiring, beautiful, ethereal, real and unreal: a fantasy. It takes you into another world. I'm often daydreaming and imagining, and her work upgrades that. Her work makes me see the things from another point of view. It's real art. You can have a lot of different feelings and sensations when you contemplate it. I'm not overwritting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think she's a great professional and an amazing artist. For me no one can compare to her. I recognize there are other big masters as Annie Leibovitz, however, personally, the only work which reaches my heart is Jingna's.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Three of my faves portraits from her are:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/zemotion/3972191728/" title="The Coldest Day. por zemotion - in LA, en Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="The Coldest Day." height="334" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3453/3972191728_d769a14014.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/zemotion/4904539966/" title="Porcelain por zemotion - in LA, en Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Porcelain" height="350" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/4904539966_3af04995ee.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/zemotion/2251522407/" title="of the Night.

Just want to say a last thing: thanks, Zhang!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope after watching her images you share my passion for her work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See you all on the next post!
