Inspiration

Photographers that inspire me.

• Joe McNally
  I was hooked when I read his first (for me) book The moment it clicks [Amazon]. Firstly, he’s a great story teller with a great sense of humor. And a humble person who loves to share his knowledge about lighting. And…*pause*… I met him at Photokina 2010. I shook his hand. Yes. You can touch me.
• Saul Leiter
  I love street photography. But I have a problem with in-your-face-street-photography. That’s not Saul. Just look at these pictures! His color pictures are fine art in a street context.
