My biggest influences have been
Don Blair // Mark Weeter // Bambi Cantrell
As far as style... I'm a purely photojournalistic. I try to tell the story through my photographs with little - no interference.
I photograph weddings for a living so my genre would be Fine Arts / Wedding Portraiture.

Walker Evans is a huge influence on me. He was a documentary photographer and his most famous project was in Hale County Alabama where he documented sharecroppers. It really is amazing and touching work. He submitted work to Fortune magazine and did documentary work in Havana Cuba. He had many shows throughout the country also.
With that said, my favorite style of photography is documentary- though I am not that type of photographer. Maybe that is why I have so much respect for them. I myself am an advertising photographer, but I also shoot weddings and that is where my knowledge of documentary comes in extremely handy!
I like both color and BW. Portriats are nice in BW. I really can't choose a favorite though. They are so different.

Richard Avedon. He influenced the way I shoot portraits ( I'm an amateur photographer.) I never direct my subjects, except where to stand. I try to capture them as I know them. I like shooting on film with an SLR. Black and white is my favorite but I shoot mainly in color, now. Candid portraiture is my favorite genre. But I'll shoot just about anything interesting that catches my eye.

Shame on me ! I'm bad with names , so I won't be able to tell you . Anyway , I was influenced by National Geographic magazine . I consider their pics as being the best ever . All my admiration goes to them !
Therefore , I like documentary pictures and I'm specialized in motion and urban life .

i prefer black and white i think it's more dramatic, I'm most influenced by Diane Arbus ,after seeing her photos of down syndrome kids playing i knew i wanted to be a photographer.
