hey, i'm glad you posted because i was just thinking about you today - my next photo class assignment is to pick a photographer who has a distinct style and then take two pictures of our own in that style. since none of my friends are willing to get naked to channel mapplethorpe and i have a hunch that everyone and their mom will be doing cindy sherman... do you have any suggestions for photographers whose work you really dig?
hey - well there's a lot of photographers i like (as you probably figured) but i tend to be more drawn to a photographer because of their subject matter rather than their style per se... can you tell me a little bit more about what kind of photos you want to take?
i'm not really sure. i'd like to do portraits of some kind... right now, i'm thinking something like the taryn simon "the innocents" book... photograph people in places that are significant to them. but i'm definitely open to other ideas. hopefully with people as subjects... and by people, i basically mean my friends.
