A photographer who goes by the Instagram name @ioegreer popped into my recommended follow list one day. After scrolling through his feed I took a look at his YouTube channel, which was filled with videos about using different film stocks, film projects he is working on, and talks about commercial work he did with film. Whats cool about Joe is that he shoots 35mm for his street photography, but if it's anything else, he will always shoot medium format. Regarding his actual images, I love the colors that he achieves in his portraits, landscapes, and random photographs. The contrast he achieves between warm and cool tones is something I would like to achieve in my own work with color film or digital photography one day.

Trashand who also goes by "Trash" is a photographer who can do it all. Trash shoots everything from portraits to architecture to nature. What is cool about this artist is the mystery around who they are, no one knows what they look like, much like the musician Marshmello. I feel they did this on purpose because art is art, and nothing more. Enjoy the art or move on. What is inspiring about Trashand is the way he uses leading lines, how clear, and how properly exposed their images. When photographing cities, I look for leading lines, and Trashhand does a good job of composing his images to add another level of depth.

Alex Strohl can be described as an adventure/lifestyle photographer. Because he works for clients, puts work on social media, and has a youtube channel, I am able to find his work easily to draw composition ideas from and photo's that are pleasing to stare at. His website is filled with client work and photographs from his personal trips to Austria, Iceland, France, and more that I can scroll through for forever. I am able to draw inspiration from what his images are composed of, how he frames his images, his editting style and more. I enjoy trying to mimic his work, however, in the words of Susan Schwake "Why try and paint like someone else when you can paint like you?"
