Lichtenstein was born in Bolivia but grew up in Houston. Her work deals mostly with females in a fashion photography style, but she does have some images that include couples. She says Ryan Mcginley is a major influence in her work which one can see from the style she shoots in. She says she photographs everything which is very apparent when looking at her large flickr stream (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamgutlich/).
Like Sofia Ajram's work, her style in using the light in certain photographs is similar to how I am looking to have my last photographs look. While Sofia's was more fine art, Lichtenstein's have a much more fashion feel to them. I especially like the use of the light to block out the models face in the first picture. This idea could work within my series when it comes to showing how the subject is more controlled by the light.

"Lately, I have been shooting a lot of people, which is my favorite thing to do. Everyone looks completely different, especially when it’s in a different environment, so there’s always countless ideas in my head." -Tamara Lichtenstein
