Inspiration, sometimes this is a large word that is hard to obtain. Recently though I have found lots of sources of inspiration some so good, that I thought I would share my notice of their creative genius.
(I do not want to steal anyone’s images so I have linked to the respective photographers so you can check them out for yourself. So, there will be no photos of the mentioned photographers on the blog today.)
Steven Meisel
This is an easy one, for me he is the father of fashion photography. When I first saw his images for Italian Vogue (September 2006) titled State of Emergency showing supermodels being arrested as terrorists, I was awestruck. It was the first time I saw fashion making a statement about the wider world.
Fashionphotographyblog.com (Melissa Rodwell)
I was added as a contact on Flickr by the above site, and at the time I had never hear of it or Melissa Rodwell. But after looking through her Flickr portfolio and her website I was seriously impressed. However do not take my word for it go and have a look yourself, the blog is a resource that should not be missed for anyone that has an interest in fashion and photography.
Chris Friel
WOW, this guy inspired me to write this blog page from his creativity. I saw his photos on a one trip on Flickr explore, his images look more like a painting and I was amazed that how a so called technically “bad” (hand held long exposure) image can become a work of art. I would never have even thought to try, seriously check out this guy’s portfolio it is amazing.
My effort at a Chris Friel style image: -
Conclusion
I hope you get as much from these sources as I have.
Till the next one, much love.
