Inspiration

Something I've learned is highly important to do as a photographer and artist is to find inspiration. I learned early on while studying graphic design how important research is. I spend most of my spare time simply looking at great design or photography. You can even ask Jared! Every time he sneaks a peak at what I'm doing I've found some new photographer or some great design. I love that I'm slowly rubbing off on him. He is becoming almost as much as a critic as me! Today he even shielded my eyes so that I didn't have to look at something designed in papyrus. He gets me.

I think every now and again I'll show you an artist that inspires me. This is one of my favorites, Brooke Davis from Blush Photography.  I love how beautifully she captures the true essence of those she shoots. That's what makes her a favorite. Her pictures are truly works of art.

Sometimes I think people forget that photography is indeed art. It takes practice, research, and a knowledge of basic principals. You can't just pick up a camera and call yourself a photographer like so many do. There is so much more too it. These images prove that.
