I am a very passionate artist. I like to dive deep into topics that evoke emotion that I can represent in my art. Rather than looking online for inspiration, I first choose a topic then I search for people to gain knowledge about how I can best go about my project. For Trust, the main person I researched was Carrie Mae Weems. She is an American artist born in 1953. I chose her because she hones in on tension and emotion. This helped guide me throughout most of my Trust project.
Another artist that inspired me was Abelardo Morell. He likes to focus on tension in many of his photographs, specifically his still lives. I chose him because I was trying to look for nonliteral ways to show trust. His images included the main idea of trust except with still objects which I found to be really interesting.
Latoya Ruby Frazier is an American artist born in 1982. She taught me how to show a connection in relationships through photos. Connection is a main aspect in trust, therefore I tried to incorporate that into my photos as best as I can.

Archival pigment prints mounted to dibond, 40 x 64 in.
Dawoud Bey was born in 1953 in America. His diptych photos inspired me to create my own. It helped me imagine how my own photos could look and realized the potential diptych photos can have. I liked the symmetry especially since one way to show symmetry is trust.

Vik Muniz was born in São Paulo, Brazil in 1961. I chose this piece of artwork of his because my theme for this term was fear and I wanted to center my photos around fear and intense emotion. As soon as I saw this image I was shocked and fearful of what was going to happen to the girl. It was a simple composition but spoke lengths of how intense and significant this image really is. The tension from this image helped me gain inspiration for what I wanted to create this term.

Marie Laigneau is a young street photographer born in Paris, France. However, she's based in London, England. Her work inspired me because all of her photos have an amazing composition. I appreciate how intriguing she makes her photos, yet they are very simple. The tension in the photos also helped me come up with my own ideas for my project.

Broken Manual, 2006
Alec Soth is a photographer born in 1969 and based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His work really speaks to me because most of his art involves deadpanning. I find that deadpan photography incorporates a lot of emotion and seriousness, which is what I strive to achieve with my own photographs.
