Favourite Photographer

 

My inspiration is the #3 Breakout Photographer of 2011 on the My Modern Met website, Alex Stoddard. I admire him in particular because he takes amazing pictures that make it seem like you're in a dream. He has remarkable motivation, dedication, and passion that is inspirational for everyone around him In his recent works, he has taken on the 365 day project, which is a challenge where you have to take a photo of something in their day every day for a year. Unlike many other, Stoddard has not only completed the project, but has taken some astonishing pictures to go along with it. And yet, he is only 17 years old, who has only been taking pictures for about 2 years.

I really enjoy his work because each picture has some sort of meaning, no matter how abstract or weird it may be. All of his photos catch your eye and draw you in, something that is very inspirational to an amateur photographer like myself.

"Strive for improvement. Don't fall into the trap of shooting the same thing every day, because that will lead nowhere. Do things that scare you. Take risks."-Alex Stoddard
