aka is burnt onto a CD, here are a few things that have inspired my work and some final words about photography/this class/anything else as I finish this blog.
- I find Lee Friedlander's work exceptional and very inspirational. I like the concept of taking pictures of the every day and documentary style shots. I also find the fact that he added himself into his pictures in some way very daring and it's something I really like. I love his music portraits as well.
-There's a photo essay that appeared in Rolling Stone in 2008 that I've since remembered and found very inspirational. It has stuck in my mind since as something I'd like to incorporate into my career goals: working for Rolling Stone and doing crazy projects like this. It's called "Welcome to Skatopia: Eighty-Eight Acres of Anarchy in the USA" and I love everything about it. The location, the gritty documentary style (with subtitles), the subject matter. I find it inspirational in my work and in my ideas for my future.
-Rolling Stone is a general thing that inspires me - I love music and alternative cultures (extreme sports included in that) and the types of photos the magazine features are really that documentary style that feature these things. Vibrant, saturated colors are really prominent in the magazine, too, and I think I really incorporated that in my project.
I found this class very rewarding and it gave me a lot of good, new ideas about what I'd like to do with my future. I'd like to continue taking photography classes when I go back to university in the States and see if I can continue to take documentary-style (but still artistically engaging) photos.
