CarolineJensen Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I was first influenced by a fine art photographer, Tami Bone. I love creative photography, but more of my influence has come from 18th century artists than photographers, I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey-Austin Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 This is a really good question, I learned so much fromJason Lanier but these days he is more like a sales rep to rotolight, I liked his work more when he was a sony shooterNowadays I like to follow Peter Mckinnon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoGina Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 This is a great question. Lately I've been looking at old photos from the 80's and 90's, mostly the ones that photographed hiphop artist. I'm really being inspired by them these days. The list so far is Jenette Beckman, Danny Hastings and Chi Modu. On a more modern note. I'm always excited to see what Joshua Kissi, Raven Varona, Dana Scruggs and the team at AB+DM will do next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidleyScottFan Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The first real... influence in my, I think, it was made by David Mclain. I actually never heard of David until I saw his video for the a99, "The Calling". It was such a magical experience, a perfect combination of photography, story, videography, everything was there. And I had this tendency, still have it actually, of getting up really early in the morning, and at the same time, staying awake up until very VERY late at night, so it was a great combination for me because of the themes and stories of the video. It was so influential in me that I was desperately wanting to buy an a99, even though it was impossible for me at the time. A few months ago, I decided to write David on LinkedIn and he wrote me back. It was just a simple greeting, but it was awesome for me. After aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall of this, I can obviously name other photographers as well: Ansel Adams. After doing a photography course at the MoMa, I got in contact with his amazing body of work. Saul Leiter.Robert Frank.Anton Corbjin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekRover Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Hmmm.... I don't think I've been shooting long enough to know how to copy styles or be influenced by a photographer. But I definitely admire the works of Sony Artisans and Ambassadors! I would love to try copy or learn their styles! 😄 https://alphauniverse.com/ambassadors/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
