'Space' Research.

   Whilst seeking inspiration for project 1, I have stumbled across the work of Nan Goldin, Lars Tunbjork, Alec Soth, and Martin Parr.

   Alec Soth's simplistic photography is what I'm looking for in my space project. I want my photos to have meaning, but not by over-filling them with subject matter. To me, his project called "Broken Manual" is profoundly deep yet stunningly simple. It is the perfect balance.

   I especially like this photo of Soth's, from "Paris/Minnesota."

   Lars Tunbjork is extremely good at photographing the indoors without it seeming to confined. This photo pertains to my space project immensely. I've taken photos really similar to this one.

   Another photographer that has influenced me thus far is Martin Parr. I love the way he photographs people. I want to experiment with portraiture when I get the opportunity.

   Last but not least, is Nan Goldin, who I've mentioned in a previous post. Some of her subject matter seems very personal, but I love how she portrays them.

   I'm finding a lot of influences in my research, and I think it may be affecting the outcome of my project.
