Brain hurricane!
I am easily influenced by artists around me and by all the media in my daily life. I have great respect for the old masters (ex. Robert Capa, Richard Avedon,) and frequently have photoshoots based on ideas I've seen in their photos. I also get many of my ideas from different types of music and lifestyles. Currently I am interested in very aggressive, dramatic, and raw tones/ moods in my photography. The dark mafioso movies of Martin Scorsese come to mind when I see my photos. In a way, photography is a relfection of who I am in the present, as the symbols and themes I am influenced by show how I think.
