Often for inspiration I turn to the website above, Lens Culture. They have an awesome and very large collection of contemporary photographers work. You can even follow them on Instagram, where they post pictures once or twice a day of featured artists off their website. They have several categories on their website: visual stories, b and w, urban/street, conceptual, portrait, nature, etc. Having so many various categories makes the site very easy to navigate! They are always a great source when I'm conducting research for artist presentations, for my own concepts for projects, and even when I just want to find new artists to follow on social media.
​Keeping a personal list of artists to reflect on has helped me grow tremendously as a photographer. When you are pursuing photography and art in general, you need to always be in the "now". You can always learn from other artists current exploration. Being aware and inspired by them will just push your creativity and knowledge.

Recently, I studied Josef Hoflehner, an Australian photographer, for an artist presentation . His approach to creating art is a nice breath of fresh air. He creates work to just create. There isn't a big underlying concept or reasoning to his work. Often as artists, we tend to get wrapped up in the concept and don't create to just create. The enjoyment of creation needs to be exuded more through my work.
​His photographs give off this eerie sense of wonder. The photographs appear as if the world froze, and he managed to capture it. The spaces are empty and open. Hoflehner's images are often landscapes with subtle coloring or are in black and white.  I relate to Hoflehner's black and white images. Similar to some of my photographic studies, I focused on 'quiet' spaces. My work varies from Hoflehner's though. He captures large landscapes, I choose to capture more intimate moments within the large scaled landscape. Below are some of my photographs similar to Hoflehner's aesthetic.

Chris Wiley is one of my inspirations when it comes to content and process. Wiley will travel to a city and just start walking, exploring the different streets and alley ways. While walking, he's captures anything that grabs his attention. Whether it's a texture on a wall or a color combination. The content of his photographs often aren't as important as the photograph's form or coloring. He photographs moments in a space that most people would walk past without acknowledging. With my work, I try and recreate this similar experience. I will go to a location with my camera around my neck, and just walk, capturing everything that attracts my eye. This process is a little adventure for myself and has a sense of discovery. I like to abstract the objects through my lens-- capturing every unseen angle. Reviewing my adventure from my camera on my computer is one of the most rewarding aspects to this process. To see the new compositions, arrays of color, line, texture, and shape-- the objects in a new light. 

Photography is a fascinating medium. Often, it is overlooked, simply because anyone and everyone has access to a camera. The obvious purpose of a camera for users is to capture views and memories. Except the camera is capable of capturing much more.
With my photographs, I showcase subtle beauty and hidden masterpieces in my environment. My photographs are not meant to be viewed as natural scenes. But instead, composed forms of light, structure, and shape. From a simple shadow to an array of colors. The content I photograph is not nearly as important as the composition I frame.
I'm drawn to intimate moments within a large space. Showcasing only a detail of that space allows me to control my compositions. An intriguing image is a well-composed image. For example architecture’s lines inspire me— whether they are the lines of the structure or the shadows reflected upon it. They challenge me to recontextualize them.
Photography allocates me to give my audience and myself a new perspective on the ‘view’ of a landscape. And my camera constantly provides me with the opportunity to illuminate the world in a new way.
