As an art student you're asked to really evaluate what art speaks to you, and what artists have consistently inspired you. This is an exercise both in the history of art, but also your influences. We all come into creating something with a preconceived idea of what we want it to look like, and that idea has influences. One the of artists I have always admired most is Caravaggio. His dramatic shadows, and focused light illuminate only the important details in his canvases, and help you focus on what's important both in the composition, and to your senses. Because of Caravaggio I love images with deep shadows, and intense light. These images are sort of a study of that.
What got me thinking about Caravaggio? Well, I'm taking the Study of Light e-course with Arrow&Apple and they asked us to collect images with lighting we find engaging, and inspiring. I created a new board on Pinterest for this and after pinning a dozen or so images I realized that Caravaggio's influence on me has not faded. If you'd like to see for yourself you can find the board here.

This course has really got me thinking a lot about the direction of my photography, and what I'd like to explore next. If you've followed this blog for awhile, you've probably seen the evolution of my photography style, and it's improvement in the last two years. I love learning about my camera, and I want to continue learning more about it everyday. I feel like I've just started. I hope you'll stick around as I explore more. big kiss, bekuh
