I’m constantly looking for new inspirations, and in our current state of isolation I feel as if it is the perfect time to collate and share.

from “Broken Manual” by Alec Soth

I’ve been delving into workshops online in isolation - and I think Alec Soth’s “Photographic Storytelling” has been a source of great comfort and inspiration. There is currently a free sample of the workshop online.

Cate Blanchett by Annie Leibovitz

Nicole Kidman by Annie Leibovitz

If you’re a photographer who doesn’t know who Annie Leibovitz is - you’re sleeping under a rock! Annie Leibovitz’s Masterclass is a great workshop if you’re looking for insight into process more than technical skill. Watching Leibovitz work on set with the cast of Angels in America is particularly fascinating.

I’m a recent watcher of Negative Feedback on Youtube - I love their simple, tasteful videos on film photography and lighting. If you’re looking into investing into a film camera - they have great reviews - or if you’re trying to figure out how to get the most out of a camera you already own - they have simple and informative equipment and film guides.
