Argus Paul Estabrook: Half Eye Half I
Argus Paul Estabrook is a Korean American photographer that was born in Korea but bounced around between Korea and America throughout his life. He started doing photography as a teenager and it stuck with him from there. His main style of shooting is street photography, but he often uses longer shutter speeds and the flash to create movement and energy in his photos. A lot of his photos are moments captured in a decisive moment of people living their lives in different parts of the East Asia and America. I find his photographs very interesting in the way he is able to create movement with the lower shutter speed as well as embody the chaos crowds of people can create. I relate his work to my own in the way that I too like to use longer shutter speeds while doing portraiture in order to create surrealistic effects.
Madeleine Morlet: I Promise I'll Never Forget
Madeleine Morlet a London based photographer who has worked on video and photographic stills for nearly a decade. Her work borders on narrative portraiture with a focus on a cinematic and romantic style. Her project I Promise I'll Never Forget explores a narrative series about adolescence and the bliss of youth. The coming of age styled series uses very cinematic styles of portraiture and lighting that give a very nostalgic and romantic feel to the images. I want to use this as inspiration for my own work because I want to create images in this narrative style where they give off a cinematic feel and look.
