Agreed, which is why I find this comment pretty funny:I'm also finding inspiration in movies but if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. What is a movie (or a motion picture)? Nothing more than a series of stills moving at a certain speed to create the illusion of motion.
For the most part, people should not look at other photographers' work. Speaking for myself, I learned from watching old B&W movies from the 30s, not from looking at any still photographers' work.
I said 'still' photographers specifically and meant it. Cinematography is different in that you have big budgets, a story, costumes, lighting crews and everything else...you can learn a lot from looking at films of this era.
Yes, cinema films are a succession of stills, but that's beside the point. Still photographers do different sorts of work, generally.
