Visual Diary

[fadingaway1986]

Well, one of my first photography assignments is to just keep a visual diary....


Yep. Pretty easy...

So my question to you guys is - what sort of photographers "inspire" you?

Or are there any photographers that you think I should look at? Any photos that you really like?


My teacher said we can put whatever we like in our visual diary - as long as we like explanations as to why they are in there...

Sooo.... no, i don't want you to find photos and give me explanations. I just don't know where to start looking for photographers and the like...

Sooo I just wanna get an idea of who is out there....


Sooo, tell me who you like..

Henri Cartier-Bresson, Andreas Feininger, Lee Miller are three of my favourites. I've been enjoying Karl Lagerfeld as well recently.

Thanks I will look into them

If you want something grittier, try Robert Mapplethorpe... not to everyone's taste however!

Or Joel-Peter Witkin. He's a bit of a challenge. *shudder*
