I was asked recently about my influences in my photography. I think my answers came as a surprise because I’m not influenced by other photographers!

I’ve always admired fine art paintings by artists like William Turner, etc. I like his dramatic, moody sky’s. His paintings influence my wedding photography especially when I’m looking to capture those wow photos with a wide angle lens capturing a pink sky with cloud formations and newlyweds embracing each other.

Another admired painter is Rembrandt. I adore his warm tones and dramatic use of light and shadow giving dimension to his portraits. My food photography is heavy influenced by Rembrandt. My foods often lit with a single light at a low angle.

What or who are your influences?
