Artistic Inspiration

Elliott Erwitt              "California Kiss"               1955

Erwitt captured my mind because it's a young, gracious and lovely photograph of a young couple at the beach in the 50's...it's admirable.

Elizabeth Messina                  "Kiss The Groom"                          2013

Elizabeth takes gorgeous photographs of weddings, couples and of the reality of life. I absolutely love this photo of a couple getting married it makes me want to get married and have Messina take my wedding pictures.

Thomas Kettner                            "Lifestyle"                                      2014

Kettner takes many pictures of lifestyles and what people normally do on a daily basis, personally I like this photo more than the other because its a calm and relaxed lifestyle that I would like to have. This image gives you that relaxed and no worries kind of feel.

Nigel Tomm                       "Dependent Love"                       2011

Nigel essentially does something similar to Derek Gores using magazines. But in this case Tomm basically crumbles up his photographs to make have some edge and it looks absolutely sensational.

 

Derek Gores       "Je Veux Te Voir"           2013 

This photographer brought my attention to this photo because of how he made the woman and the women's shadow all out of bits and pieces of a magazine. Incredible!
