There is inspiration all around us, we just have to slow down and see it. We sometimes take for granted the little things and sometimes the big. My creativity and imagination can see one object and find its placing or its sourroundings, in a way that most wouldnt see. I am inspired by the everyday life of people, to the outline of a city, to the simple objects placed through my creativity and the beauty of our landscape.
I was inspired by Alfred Stienglitz to shoot my first photo displayed. He was a man known for taking pictures of city outlines. My first photo displays the view down a street on a cold winter day. In this photo you can see the older buildings still in use today.
Amsel Adams was a man who would place objects in a certain place and then make that the subject of his photo. He also used the elements of photography to take photos. At least one element is shown in his work. I was inspired by him to take the second photo displayed. This shows a pinecone placed within the grass and mud.
Henri Cartier – Bresson inspired me to take my third photo. Henri took photos of everyday life; this consisted of people going about their busy schedule. Nothing was placed the people weren’t asked to stand in a place it simply shows their normal routine in one shot. My third photo expresses an older gentleman playing his guitar during band practice.
