La Chapelle is one photographer I love looking at. The color in his photographs is always over the top and pops out at you like his subject matter. The quirky way in which he photographs people for example the last supper with Jesus being surrounded by rappers or Courtney Love holding a dead Kurt Cobain made to look like Jesus. He captures how we look at pop culture in a bizarre way.
Larry Clark:
The way Larry Clark photographed 'Tulsa' was great. He was with his friends in his hometown shooting his drugs and just photographed it. The pictures are sad yet no one in the pictures looks miserable, everyone just seems to be stuck in their hometown lost in their habits. Larry Clark is a photographer I do not always look at to inspire my work but I'm always looking at either way.
Gregory Crewdson:
I am a big fan of staged dramatic lighting and Crewdson is a master at this. He creates photographs of surreal American homes and neighborhoods. I really like creating lighting in my pictures and look at his work for inspiration when photographing.
