by Ricardo Acevedo (Author)
Austin TX based photographer Ricardo Acevedo brings a sultry heat and keen eye for color, light and shadow to his work. With humor, passion, and a decidedly film noir slant, he focuses his lens on fabulous forms, then layers and manipulates the results to create his intricate and evocative images. Embrace the joys and mysteries of Ricardo Acevedo's work with the 57 images presented here; a few in deep black and white, and most in full rich color. Neil Coleman of Pro-Jex Gallery says this about Acevedo's work: "Ricardo has been pushing his own envelope for years. His work consists of balancing photography, illustration and painting as one. Composing images using models juxtaposed with tattoo-like colors, Ricardo likes to bring a little twist, a little bawdiness and "gotcha" to his photography. "
