influences and inspiration<\/h1>\n

Triggered by the most recent post on the pin-up photo session<\/a>, I thought that an on-going theme about influences and inspiration in photography would make a good topic.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tThe photo above was taken during an engagement photo session. In posing Melissa and Dennis for the one sequence, I wanted to use an idea that I saw on the cover of the disc of a movie I had watched just a few days before – An Education<\/a>. (Amazon)<\/p>\n

The young actress, Carey Mulligan was nominated for an Oscar for her role in this touching coming-of-age story. Beautifully told and acted and filmed. It was based on a book written by Nick Hornby. He was also the author of ‘High Fidelity’, a book dear to my heart.<\/p>\n

The cover image of the DVD \/ Blu-Ray disc caught my attention – the two actors, elegantly posed. When I saw it, I immediately knew I would reference this image some time during upcoming photo session.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>

My earliest influences as a photographer were Henri-Cartier Bresson and Elliot Erwitt and … a slew of photographers whose work I noted while voraciously reading about photography. \u00a0As a wedding photographer, my influences are Jerry Ghionis and David A Williams.<\/p>\n

Now while other photographers influence us, we obviously take so much from our the culture we are immersed in, visually informed by music, television, videos and movies and books. \u00a0When a movie by Quentin Tarantino influences even wedding photography<\/a>, we have a good example of how Art is re-assembled and referenced and used by everyone. \u00a0In that spirit I will add more images, looking at how they came to be, influenced by something seen or experienced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
