Not a single person. As much as I like and admire a lot of photographers work, it doesnt sway me in the least. What catches my attention in the moment, or moves me in some way. That simple

I too find most of my inspiration from other forum users. This thread is actually a gold mine for someone kind of new to the forum like me. I enjoy looking up the users mentioned above. So much talent!

Svjetlana is certainly excellent! She's got a distinctive style and a good eye for composition. I think we're lucky to have so many excellent photogs of Dyxum!!! You have to browse through both open views and themed views to get a sense of the all the different kind of shots we get. It's also good to browse the weekly exhibitions. You can easily go back in time by looking through photos posted over the past several years.
There are a handful of photogs on Dyxum whose work consistently impresses me with both their vision and creativity. However, I won't mention names. It's more fun to encourage you all to explore the site and discover them for yourselves. Please go explore old photos of the past!!! Many of them are truly amazing. I would add that the web is filled with great photogs, many of whom have their own sites. Flickr and photo.net are two other good sites to explore for photos. Still, I'm partial to Dyxum photogs, in large part because I know of and like so many of them! |

Certain photographs from many different photographers but one name comes to mind that really inspires me is our own Svjetlana.

Elliot Porter and his remarkable smallscapes are what drive me. Never could do the Ansel Adams huge and overpowering scenic works he does so well. See Anon Carter Museum

I dont have just one particular photographer as someone who influences my photography, though I subscribe to a number of magazines like National Geographics and Photography magazines that I aspire for my photo's to be like.
One photographer I find myself comparing my photo's too, also is an author of a magazine to help photographers improve their images showing different techniques. Peter Eastway Better Photography National Geographic |

My greatest photographic influences have been: 1) a friend of mine who is one of the finest photographers I have ever known of, but is shy about having her name given; 2) the superb members of Dyxum who have made their work available here and 3) Ken Hubbard (spelling?). Bottom line is that these excellent artists and technicians have been more of a positive photographic influence on me than any of the many photo books and courses I have ever read or taken. Unlimited and profound thanks to all of the above. It is a fulfillment to have contact with them all.

i do not think i am influenced by any particular photographer, although i have looked with much interest to the images of Ansel Adams and Henri Cartier Bresson in the past.
what does influence me are images i see in magazines like National Geographic, Geo, Elle, Vogue etc. the styles used there are quite different and often worth looking at - even if what is in the image does not interest you at all (like for me Elle and Vogue). in the past i used to look quite a lot at images in Paris-Match and Life magazine, and even in some newspapers that then had their own photographers. nowadays the influence is twofold: composition (like it always was) and processing (which has been much more influential in the digital era). whether it has helped is doubtful: after 40 years of taking pictures i still have to come up with the first image i would call "nearly perfect". i have raised my standards over the years though. |

I certainly like the work of Joe McNally, I mean seriously who wouldn't? But as I have a thing for landscape and architecture my influences come from shooters in that field like;
Patrick Reynolds http://www.patrickreynolds.co.nz/ Andris Apse http://www.andrisapse.com/ Ken Duncan http://www.kenduncan.com/ Tim Griffith http://www.timgriffith.com/ Simon Devitt http://www.simondevitt.com/ to name but a few... |

Dianne Arbus and Minor White are my favorites. I know both are totally different aesthetics.

Matt Karas, Joe McNally, Gordon Parks are my main influences
It's funny because I was actually influenced through graphic design & street art when I first started getting into photography. My horizon has flourished since then. |
