Who is your Inspiration?

While photography is my life long passion, I am strongly drawn to the world of fashion and the art of fashion photography.  There are many legendary fashion photographers that I draw inspirations from, but two in particular stand out the most - Steven Meisel and Steven Klein.  

Their work is explosive and full of emotion.  Each photograph portrays a story.  I believe that their style is one of the closest to Helmut Newton's style that we have today.  Their use of black and white to capture the raw emotion of their subjects is absolutely phenomenal.  Their photographs demand to be noticed.
