Sorelle Amore is my favorite photographer. One evening at home, just browsing youtube of all places, I stumbled across a video with “How to take an advanced selfie” as it’s title. Intrigued by the thumbnail I was instantly drawn into Sorelle Amore’s large smile and very energetic personality. She personally developed her own style known as the “Advanced Selfie.” Trying to combat the boring standard selfie she set out to find and shoot her own travel photos but with herself as the subject. I love the way she captures herself in almost ethereal settings, captivating her audience by making them think..”how did she take that by herself?” Amore is very creative with her poses and angles that one day I wish to emulate.

Trey Ratcliff is an American photographer who I chose because I enjoyed the richness of his photos. His photos are extremely clear and have a vastness to them. The colors haves depth from the cool blues to the warm oranges, yellows and reds. He has a varied array of photos of landscapes and cityscapes showing different techniques and use of lighting. I enjoyed the professionalism his photos tend to exhibit and the feeling his pictures give me of traveling the world, visiting multiple different countries, and seeing the world through the lens of someone else’s perspective.

One of my favorite photographers is Sorelle Amore. I came across her Instagram page about a year ago. I was very fascinated on the photographs she had on her Instagram. At first i though she was being photographed by someone. After digging more i realized, she did her own photography. Sorelle takes her own pictures of herself. I was shocked how she can capture herself in such a unique way. I instantly fell in love with her work. She was my inspiration on learning more about Boudoir. You see, she photographs herself naked or somewhat naked. In a very tasteful manner. I enjoyed the confidence she had and realized i wanted to make woman feel that way. I’ve enjoyed following her work and its been exciting watching her technique grow.

Keith Ladzinski Is an up close and personal photographer. He does a lot from Instagram and is famous for his outdoor adventurous photos. He’s my favorite because his photos look the way that I wish I felt.

Robert Irwin in my opinion is possibly one of the best wildlife photographers of our generation and he’s only 16 years old. He has the same passion for capturing pictures of wildlife as he does for wildlife conservation. That passion is what really makes his pictures great. 🙂

A photographer I admire is Paul Strand. Strand was a photographer in the early 20th century who helped define photography as a form of art. He is known for his wide array of photos since his work varied from street portrait to urban hustle and bustle. Strand sought to express the feelings of his subjects in the pictures he took- whether it was a portrait or a landscape. He wanted to capture everything authentically and with respect. Strand was inspired by the works of Picasso and Alfred Stieglitz. Strand’s work ;aid the foundation for and inspired many other photographers. I admire Paul Strand because he wanted to capture a vast array of photos that demonstrated life as well as presenting the subject well. He seems to want to capture candid moments, life that has not been filtered or changed- just real life moments.

Zun Lee is a photographer that comes close to his subjects. His urban photography captures the life that is held inside the homes of the people he documents. His work usually is a close portrait of people. Lee’s photo’s capture a connection between people, exposing the flow of energy that is seen in every photo. Zun Lee’s photos showcases the emotional energy instilled in the photo while at the same time, connecting the viewer to the picture.

Charlie Waite is an amazing British landscape photographer. I don’t know much about him but from what I can see from the photo’s he’s really good at what he does. Here is some of what he does. I am very interested in landscape photography I find that kind of photography very beautiful. It really shows how beautiful the world really is when the chaos of humanity is just around the corner. I hope that I can achieve in taking photos as amazing if not better then him.

Ansel Adams was one of the great photographers of the 20th century.
