A friend sent me the link to this flickr site and it turned out to be pretty cool. Check out Elle Moss for some portrait inspiration!

Just starting to think about the night and day assignment. Shooting at night tends to intimidate me, just because it’s something I haven’t done a lot of and it can be tricky. But it can also be so kool!!! Here’s a lil bit of inspiration for me, maybe for you too!
Fellow Student Inspiration
I went to high school with Paige Ormiston and now she is also a student here at WWU. She does some beautiful portraiture and I’m always amazed at the shots she gets around campus. She’s pretty good with photoshop too. Check out her flickr and website here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/potentiallypaige http://cargocollective.com/potentiallypaige
Julien Brenton – Light Calligraphy
I’ve seen a lot of ‘light writing‘ photos on the internet, and they can vary in quality and creativity, but this weekend I found the best example to date. Julien Brenton does a lot of work with Arabic Calligraphy, and has moved to going some very powerful pieces with light writing. The examples below are bad screen caps, check it out here for better resolution.
Jose Villa
Portraits portraits portraits! If you want to see people with more Californian sun around them than we Washingtonians can imagine, Jose Villa is your man. He also has visited Haiti and Cuba for candid portraits like this one. Check him out here.
“Wastland”
“Wastland” is a movie about art, people and their garbage. It follows renowned artist/photographer Vik Muniz as he talks and works with the garbage pickers from the worlds largest landfill in Rio de Janeiro. I found it really inspirational on several levels, I hope you do too! Its on netflix so maybe some of you have already seen it. If not, then check it out!

Fire
I’ll admit it, I am an incurable carnie. I love circuses and performing and being that weird guy who juggles for no reason. I do a lot of photography of flowers and mushrooms, but if there is one subject I find the most fascinating, the most alive and dynamic, it is fire. I have harbored a healthy fascination and respect for fire for as long as I can remember, and good photography locks the liquid properties of fire for everyone to appreciate. I’ve followed Tom Lacoste on DeviantArt for years, before he quit DA earlier last year. I tracked his work down to a flicker account for everyone to enjoy. The pictures below link to different sections, click on his name to see the full set.

Irene Suchocki
Irene is a photographer based in Montreal, whose whimsical, mysterious, and thought provoking photos really drew me in when I first saw her work on flickr. A freelancer with an incredible eye for that one “moment”, her photos are really something. Check out her blog here!
Daniel Rozin’s Magnificent Mirrors
Daniel Rozin is an interactive artist who works around the concept of mirrors, making many different pieces that reflect the work around them using shadows on tilting ‘pixels’. The videos below are demonstrations of my favorite two, but check out youtube for the many others.
