Whilst I haven't referenced the work of others a great deal in my blogs, I do take a great interest in the work of other photographers whom I admire. These generally tend to have a travel photography bias, something I also enjoy.
Here's two which I have a particular interest in.
Steve McCurry is a long time photographer, most famous for some of his images taken in Afghanistan and elsewhere. I attended one of his exhibitions in Birmingham and was struck by the familiarity of the images shown - they're like household names, a testament to the wide use his images have been used for over the years. I also love the combination of colour and composition which he manages to exhibit, in equal measure, in his images. Lastly, I enjoy reading the his blog, and the various quotes which he picks out - its therapy during a busy day in the office to realise there is another world out there.
