Under the Influence




We are all influence by something. In work or in life. I have always admired the photography in National Geographic Magazine. I remember looking through my grandma's collection was I was a kid. As an adult, I actually enjoy sitting in the waiting room of the doctor's office so I can sift through their old copies of NatGeo (National Geographic).
Recently some of my work was compared to NatGeo style which really made my day. Not that I have been trying to emulate this as there really is no way to - NatGeo receives photos from many, many photographers who all have a similar style in telling a story in a photo. This is something I like and try to do with my work.
Although most of my photos are more portrait based, I try to have the subject interacting with the environment to some degree. And now, thanks to my lovely wife, I have my own subscription of NatGeo to enjoy! More good influence...
The above photos are mine. The ones below are from NatGeo just so you can see if there is anything to this :)
