Inspired by his photoengraver father, San-Francisco based artist, Cody Bratt, began his work in print design before eventually making his way into the photo world. Bratt explains that his work from that point on "largely focused on the rediscovery of things that were once immensely important and  loved, but now seemingly forgotten." Many photos from Love We Leave Behind are landscape shots of seemingly abandoned roads, gas stations, and motels. but also of what we can assume to be the residents of these rented spaces. Bratt's main goal is to portray a feeling or emotion and that is something I wish to get across in my own series. I want convey a sense of anger, loneliness, contempt, and despair in a style more closely following that of deadpan photography.

Nina Röder, a photographer based in Berlin, Germany, captures helplessness and loss in many of her series such as bath in brilliant green and If You Have to Go You Still Want to Stay. Röder began her work on bath in brilliant green after the death of her father and the strong emotion is not captured within the faces of those involved or blatantly described with imagery that pertains to the events that inspired the work, but it is something that is felt through the images as a whole- the darker, more intense tone of the images convey the message of loss brilliantly. I hope this is something that I will be able to execute in my own series.
