FiveW-Wednesday (Who & Why)- Photo Games, Season 3, Week 8
Tell me WHO and WHY?
Many of us have been influenced by others on our photography journey, and for this FiveWs-Wednesday, I would like you to tell me WHO has inspired you and WHY? It can be an old master photographer, a contemporary filmmaker or artist, or simply a fellow enthusiast in your town... You only need to pick one of them and tell me why he/she has inspired your photography. Your own example photos is a bonus but not required.
Considering most users here are more familiar with Western photographers, I'm introducing to you a few Chinese photographers that have inspired me. All of them were born in East China (and me too, as well as my head photo here :)), and their works share a certain traditional painting style that I adore.
The most internationally known (if any) one is probably 何藩(HE Fan or Fan Ho), the master of lights and shadows;
Another forefather is 郎静山(LANG Jingshan), who was the first Chinese photographer to take artistic nude shots, and created the unique "composite photography" technique;
孙郡(SUN Jun) is a contemporary pioneer adopting an elaborate-style painting (another traditional school is free-sketch painting) in his photos.
