Yousuf Karsh
Yousuf's work inspires me because firstly his style, black and white and most of the people in his portraits have a straight face showing not the stereotypical smile of the people but the normal expression that comes from a person
Francesco Scavullo
Francesco also inspires me because of the style of his photos but not only that but the process. He uses generally a plain background and uses lighting to highlight different aspects of the different models he used.
Shannon Surrat
Shannon is a local photographer that inspires me by her portraits by using different lighting and different editing processes that bring almost a beautified surreal look to her portrait photos and she also incorporates nature into most of her photos
*mariasme (Maria Franklin)
Maria's work inspires me and is similar to my own work because of the subjects that she usually shoots. She uses high saturation in most of her photos and you can sense a movement of time in her photos. Most of her work is of nature in a macro style which is my favorite style of photography
*thetomer (Tomer Jacobson)
Tomer's work is very inspiring because he incorporates nature and "taboo" places with formal portraits and uses many different styles throughout his photos.
