I thought I'd just write a little bit about the photographers that have inspired my work (and I wish I could emulate!) While my direction is news photography, I believe that you need an artistic eye to really capture a moment.

I love, love LOVE Philippe Halsman. Halsman is known for his portrait photography. He has photographed icons such as Albert Einstein Marilyn Monroe, and Salvadore Dahl


Annie Leibovitz is also an amazing photographer, well-known for her celebrity portraits. The picture above of the Alice in Wonderland portraits was done by Ms. Leibovitz.
