Influences


For Photography i have been set a task of finding a number of pictures that have influenced my work and are indeed my favourite pictures.I will look at each and discuss why i particularly like them and what it means to me.

Photo 1 -


KURT COBAIN - This picture is a picture of the lead singer of the mid 90s grime rock band - 'Nirvana'
The main reason why it has influnced me is because it was the first photo i had in my room stuck on my wall and inspired me to take up photography in the first place



Photo 2 -


JIMI HENDRIX - This is another one of my favourite photographs.It also was on my wall growing up and inspired me into taking up photography.The black and white works well with the overall picture outcome and the deep contrast gives it depth that i enjoy.


Photo 3 -


HANNAH STARKEY - this photo is taken by hannah starkey and is my favourite one taken in her collection.The photo is set up in a direct clear manner and is cleverly composed.The composition of this picture influences the way i take pictures when i take photos in my projects.

Photo 4 -


RICHARD AVEDON - This photo is taken by Richard Avedon and has shown me to think outside the box.His pictures inspire me to think simple but at the same time shocking to some point.


Photo 5 -


ANSEL ADAMS - After seeing this picture in textbooks for a number of years over and over again this photo definitely has influenced me in the way i take photography.His composition of work and end product is extraordinary and when i take landscape photos i think of this picture.


Photo 6 -

DIESEL ADVERT - This photo was one of the first photos that got me into the idea of taking commercial fashion shots.The colours are vibrant and the photo in general interests me.
