New Photographers Inspiration and Influence

New Photographers, I would be looking at for further future influence and inspiration is the photographs by the following photographers:

  • Jeff Walls
  • Sam-Taylor Johnson
  • Tim Laman (wildlife photographer)
  • Suzanne Plunkett
  • Weejee (street photographer) 

Robert Rauschenberg


Robert Rauschenberg from Shaun Hardwick

Robert Rauschenberg would be one of my influences when I come to specialise in my chosen art area, which would be photography. In additionally, when I come to produce future artwork and photographs, I would considered using inspiration of how Robert Rauschenberg makes up his composition with the collage of visual images.

Michelle Thompson


Michelle Thompson from Shaun Hardwick

Michelle Thompson has influenced me in how she uses her own photography and 'found' objects and combine them together to create something new. Furthermore, she would be one of my influences when I come to specialise in a chosen area of art myself, which would be photography which I would use themes and influence ideas by her artwork.
