Adam Jeppesen and others

Graham Walzer asked me too look up a fellow named Adam Jeppesen because he had a similar aesthetic to what I wanted to be shooting and not necessarily what I had in my work in progress product.



There so much control over these images without much seemingly controlled light. Somehow even with my poor articulation, Graham was able to pick up on what I desired to shoot and is this wellspring of knowledge in which you can blurt out a style or a subject matter and he will say something like "Have you taken a look at...?" And of course you haven't, because if you had, you wouldn't be so off track.

In exchange for his nugget of knowledge I remembered a photographer I had seen at AIPAD but not heard much about prior to this: Michael Wolf. Wolf's series called Transparent City is a beautifully executed idea that has, in fact, been done before - but not quiet as blatantly well. When you start to navigate his website to discover something original you find the Sitting in China: Bastard Chairs series and immediately find yourself falling in love with his ability to see things that have become so quickly part of the environment while not belonging there at all if they still had an essence of their former selves. These are portraits of personality.

I haven't decided if I want to upload any images from my final-in-progress to here yet. I'm not sure what the sense would be while I'm still completely silent.
