English photographer, Laura Stevens graduated with a BA in Art and Designs from Leeds Metropolitan University and went back to school in order to get her MA in Photography from the university of Brighton. Her themes, through portraits and landscape photography, focus primarily on longing, vulnerability, loneliness, and the relationship between man and woman. Another November is the product of love lost and each photo portrays the gradual changes of each emotional stage thereafter. Not only does my series relate to the dark, emotional aspect of Stevens' series, but I have also been working on many stages that follow the same set up or concept as some of the photos here. I strive to portray the same amount of emotion in my own photography as Stevens has here.

American photographer, Jessica Todd Harper began her artistic venture as a young child, often copying the great works found in museums. She progressed from crayons, to charcoal, to pastels and eventually moved into the world of photography. Harper's work is inspired by John Singer Sargent and Vermeer, among other artists. Her style is quite painterly in its aesthetic, her lighting is often warm yet soft, and what she tends to focus on most of all is the stage or environment. I hope to be as detail oriented in my own work as Harper is when it comes to her stage. I would like to utilize some of the soft lighting that is seen throughout her series and portray intimacy in it's most raw and vulnerable form- while still, of course, being staged.
