Artist Inspirations



Steve McCurry is a photojournalist. He is probably best known for the image, “Afghan Girl,” which was originally in the National Geographic magazine. It is known as the most recognized photograph in the world. He has taken several striking pictures, including this one.




Andy Warhol was one of the most influential contemporary artists. He used mass-production techniques to create his work. Warhol erased the traditional distinctions between fine art and popular culture to create his own unique interpretation which I admire very much.




Annie Leibovitz is a well known American portrait photographer. She has taken many pictures of many celebrities for Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair magazine.




Tyra Banks is also well known for her creative fashion photographs. She takes pictures of models on her show, America’s Next Top Model.


Leonardo Da Vinci lived in a time period called the Renaissance. He was multitalented and most of his work was done in the realist style.
