What P/N photographers have influenced your style?

[Sanford]

<p>For me, Brad Evans (citysnaps.net). I will never be able to match his edgy style because I live in to tame of a place, but I try. I can't even find graffiti around here!</p><div></div>

<p>Art Hill<br>

Pasgagula (sp),Alabama<br>

He had a local portrate and commercial Photo business.<br>

He retired to Fort Myers, Florida and worked part time at the Fort Myers News-Press.<br>

I learned a lot from him. He was a master!</p>

<p>Yes,<br /> For example, our member John Nell has such a talent and luck in photographing beautiful ladies.<br /> Perhaps influenced, or naturally, I seem to prefer taking pictures of rather pretty strangers.<br /> Taking pictures of women is always sensitive issue, especially less fortunate ones.</p>

<p>The one that really caught my eye was Leping Zha, more than a few years ago.</p>

<p>Jf Ochoa, Fractal World, Photo Fun, Anna Getzieh, Natasha Gudermane, Bobby Diba, Stefan Rohner, Emil Schildt, Stefan Beutler, Theo Keijzers, Hans Koot, O Ariel Gonzales, Yeung-Sen Yoon and Chris Blaszcyk are just some of my favorite image makers here on PN over the years who have influenced me. Looking at this list there are only a couple of Americans, which kind of surprises me. </p>

<p>I'll put in another vote for Brad Evans, or "Brad -" as he is known here. His approach to street photography is sensitive, tasteful, and inspiring. I found his wisdom reassuring as I began to experiment with the genre.</p>

<p>Matt Laur is a very helpful guy here. He tipped me into shooting raw.</p>

<p>Too many to list. My style, what little there is, was pretty well set. But I'm inspired and motivated by many folks here.</p>

<p>And I appreciate Sanford for setting a positive example by taking the initiative on weekly photo sharing threads, being consistent and encouraging others to participate.</p>
