Anyone who knows me well knows I’m a magazine junkie. I have been that way since high school.
When I became a professional photographer I started to look at photographs in magazines and catalogs in a different way. So if I find an image that I really like and feel it could inspire a shoot in the future I rip it out. Over the last year I have taken many of those ripped pages and created an inspiration book using an 11×14 sketch book and art and drafting dots (in case I ever need to take the images out of the book). I have one book for Portraits and another book for Kids.
The three pages from the inspiration book are from Entertainment Weekly, a Neiman Marcus catalog and a photo shoot at Disneyland I found in C Magazine.
