Inspirations in Photography on DartmoorInspirations
What are the ingredients that come together to make an image? Just as Paul Simon took influences from South African music to create his seminal album "Graceland" I also like to draw on a wide variety of sources, and many of them not immediately obvious in the final result. Of course, I take influences from films and my late father (the film producer and director G Ivan Barnett), and the lighting in films such as Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" has always been massively important for me in how I see an image. It's all about having a vision.
Of course, I don't want to copy - what is the point that? I prefer to acknowledge my influencers and give a nod to their creativity and style, and then make it my own.
For the first image of Olivia taken up on the edge of Dartmoor I could hear music playing in my head, and thought of a powerful queen who had conquered, or was in the process of winning lands. I freely admit that as I was editing these images I was playing the soundtrack of Season 6 of Game of Thrones, so Daenerys Targaryen and her particular vision came to mind!
