The Inspirational Photographer that I was drawn to was Olivia Parker. She uses close up and abstract photography which is what I am most interested in. Her images are very sharp and colorful. I was drawn to her images because I love the use of color in her pictures, it almost looks like a oil paintings in some. Olivia Parker was a painter before she was a photographer and you can almost see it through her photography. She Photographs similar images that I also like to photograph such as seashells and flowers.
"Parker began her career as a painter, and became involved in photography in 1970. Mostly self-taught she makes ephemeral constructions to photograph and experiments with the endless possibilities of light. " |
