Artists are constantly influencing each other. As a visual artist I can be inspired to create something just as much by a musician or writer as by another photographer, filmmaker or painter. It doesn’t matter their medium. If you resonate with it, it has affected you. Our subjects too, be they a scientist, an activist, a farmer or an athlete can leave a mark. I suppose it”s correct to say everyone has the potential to have an influence.
The following clip is from Icelandic artist Jónsi, lead singer of the band Sigur Rós. They have been part of that group of individuals that have inspired me to feel something in life. I shot this last year at a show in San Francisco, been graciously afforded the opportunity by band management to do so.
This is just shooting for the pure enjoyment of photographing a favorite artist.
