Below I've listed some of the imagery I've been using as inspiration for this project. I've listed a couple artists with specific works and also a collective group of shots by multiple photographers of close ups of the human form.
Zena Holloway
Knowing that I was going to be taking some underwater shots, I wanted to see what other photographers had done. Holloway was one I was particularly drawn. She cleverly dresses and presents her subjects in a way that is both dynamic and narrative. The high contrast lighting also helps bring interest to each shot.
Henrik Knudsen
I was also looking for artists that use narrative as the driving force behind their photography. This lead me to Knudsen. I knew that I was looking to do much more close up and focused photography, and while Knudsen takes very wide and distant shots, his imagery is very good at telling a story. In each shot, my mind tries piecing together a story for why, what, when, and where it is taken.
