Inspiration

As a caveat, I would like to apologize for not posting this earlier. I was having a lot of trouble finding photographers without actually knowing the names of any. As for the post before this, I thought I'd already done it. Please forgive me, as I have in fact been shooting and looking.

Julia Margaret Cameron--This woman's portraits are subtle, but the little things about them keep the images in your head. The way some subjects are looking into the shot, but others are looking out of it, give the impression that while some people have vision others do not. The colors are often verging on monochromatic in her portraits, and the close crops she gives most of her subjects, I hear, helped to change the way portraits have been taken since her work.

Eddie Adams--A photo journalist, I'm obviously captivated by the way he got close to human grief and violence over and over again in the Vietnam war.

Jane Fulton Alt--This woman's photos evoke, for me, the word "embryonic." They heavily feature things like water and eggs, yet without that obvious imagery I would still use that word, indicating the unity of her intentions, in my opinion.
