story behind the story

“My home town of Garden Grove is steeped in such nostalgia for the 1950s and I’ve always wanted to shoot it. Besides the antique car show that happens every Friday and the innumerable old houses and diners close by, there’s such a strong sense of longing for southern California’s rockabilly past. For casting, I found models with a certain edge or attitude to them. All I had to do was give them clothes and weapons to let everything else fall into place.” – Conan Thai

There’s already a lot of buzz building around Tati Cotliar. It took agent Jason Valenta at Next Models NY just 48 hours after seeing Tati’s picture to race to Buenos Aires to meet (and sign!) her. Currently in New York, this audacious Argentinean is getting rave reviews from everyone who shoots her, with photographic duo Reed + Rader going as far as calling her a ‘photographer’s dream’. A must watch! View more info on Tati’s profile.
