- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
It's probably rather easy to name photographers that have influenced our work, but how about inspiration from other types of media?
I tell people I want to photograph the way Neil Gaiman writes. I would also say Tim Powers has had an influence. And thinking about it just now, I realized that Robert Anton Wilson has had a much bigger impact than I was previously conscious of.
In music, it's been Bel Canto, Sisters of Mercy, and a good helping of Mike Doughty.
These aren't just artists I like. I can point to specific things in my photography that echo what I've picked up from these other artists.
