We all have that one person we look up to and admire. I know I get really excited to talk about how they inspire me and how I appreciate their artwork. So that brings me to the second question of the PhotoPoll...
Who is your photography idol?
In the introductory post, I mentioned the surrealist photographer Rachel Baran. But she's not the only photographer that has caught my eye. I'm talking about Kyle Thompson.
Photo Source & Kyle's portfolio
I love his photos because they are the type that I aspire to take one day... expressive self-portraits that tell a story and show raw emotions.
His work encapsulates the ephemeral narrative, a nonexistent story line that only lives for a split moment. These images show the collapse of narrative, as there is no defined story line with a beginning and end; instead, these images create a loop. This fleeting moment lives on in a constant unchanging state. By diverting the view of the face, the images become more ambiguous, the viewer is no longer able to tie a defined story line to the image.
I encourage you to check out his work and don't forget to comment below with your favorite photographer!
Ideas and advice for questions in the next PhotoPoll can also be suggested (and would be much appreciated)!
