Photographers I am inspired from: Rakin- [|__http://rankin.co.uk/__] Rankin is a british photographer for mainly portraits and fashion. He is a very successful artist, I like the way he uses the subjects and places then in his pieces. He has interesting points of view and eve more interesting ways to express emotions and moods within his pieces by using the principles and elements of photography.

Lisa Visser- [|__http://lisavisserfineart.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-master-photographers-association.html__] Lisa is very good at portraits but they mostly all of girls, which makes me feel she has a passion for expressing their feelings. Very nice work but I kept looking because I wanted more. Goos are but not exactly what I am looking for in this project, if I was sure I wanted to focus on portraits she would be an amazing choice but I wants to express more than that.

Michael Dearden- [|__http://deardenstudio.co.uk/modern-contemporary-portrait-photography/__] [|__https://www.ephotozine.com/article/master-photographer-of-the-year-awards-2010-14879__] MIchaels photographs are very successful and very interesting which is why he is one of the top photographers I am interested in. He is also a british artist and his pieces are very simple but have so much detail and so much meaning behind them. I like the way he uses color and shape within his images.

Style: His style is very exotic, he has a lot of emotions and stories within his pieces when he is trying to express fashion and the personalities of the people that he takes portraits of. From looking at him work I can tell he is very successful artist and has a very intriguing style of art which is why I am so interested in his work and thought process.

My Concept: I want to either portray emotions and personalities throughout my work or the trendy fashion of today. I will meet the criteria by using Rankin as a reference for when I get stuck and need help and ideas to get my mind going. I will take lots of photographs and will edit them mot as simple as his but simple enough. I will utilize the special told in photoshop to change colors, contrast, transparency and so much more to be able to make my pieces as successful as I can. I want to use lots of value, texture, color, emphasis and other principles to be able to make my piece successful. I want to really capture the fashion or emotions based off of what concept I decide to do. I think I am going to shoot photos of both and then based off of those I will decide what concept I want depending on what images are more successful.
