“Insomnia” is a quietly moving short film by Bell Soto, a photographer based in New York City. Soto has shot exclusive collections from fashion designers including Dior Hommer, Veronique Branquihno and Xavier Delcour.
Insomnia can be regarded as the desperate anthem of the lonely, a song about love and the ceaseless, furtive search for love, set in the neon-lit world of urban America, the night-time worlds of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and the French Quarter of New Orleans. America at night transforms its dark cities into the unmistakable shape of loneliness. In the solitude of dark evening, there is nothing left but the night, the night that is like a long voyage on which you can feel the body laboring its way through life, resembling the pounding of the engines and the straining of the hull of a ship at sea. Restlessness wells insatiable inside us.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution color photographs, as well as the touching short film, “Insomnia.”

French photographer Guy Bourdin, one of my faves, was a master of composition and color, who not only took incredible still photographs of women but also transcended his visual art onto film using super 8s.
Bourdin's strong color contrast, highly sexualised photographs of beautiful girls is like soft porn with a dark and sinister edge. His other worldly creations are nothing short of being shocking, provocative and surreal.
His experimental films retain the same surrealism as his photographs but some offer a softer, more poetic character study of his subjects.
Bourdin is regarded as a highly influential fashion photographer whose work can clearly be seen resonating in many of the new and young fashion photographers of today.French photographer Guy Bourdin, one of my faves, was a master of composition and... more
