This semester is my last semester so I have been constantly asking myself what can I do to get better, whether that is running, photography or writing. After discussing with Vaughn and him telling me to look at some people I thought I would make this first post about what inspires me. Whether it is a who or it is something that gets me going like coffee or just scrolling through instagram. You gave me a couple people to look at Saul Leiter which is very inspiring with his color work and Henri Cartier which is also quite inspiring, which made me think, How am I being different, is it that I am putting people in the middle or is it the cringe crookedness that drives you insane. I don't know but that is what I am going to do. Andrew Kearns is a big inspiration for me where he is relatively known for his moody tones and putting subjects in the middle. Some of his photos are found here. I like the way he makes his images look and that it is in the middle. Another one that I didn't mention was our very own Brittany Gryder I love how she uses objects in the foreground to make things interesting and her attention to detail is inspiring.
With that being said you challenged me to do something different. My next event I am going to shoot everything first get all my shots done, then the rest of the event ill be only using a 40mm f2.8 to try and make something interesting, as well as work on not putting stuff in the middle.
