Assignment 1 - Inspiration

One of the photographers that inspire me is Elliot Erwitt. As well as being a photojournalist he
was also well known in advertising and architecture. When he was working he always tried to
get a personal photograph as well - he called these anti-photographs.

Erwitt also believed in 'letting people be themselves'. This is the basis for the idea I have for my
portfolio. I plan on taking pictures of people in their normal day to day job - how the world sees them with their public persona's. In contrast to this I will also take pictures of people doing what their passions tell them to do - how they spend their time away from their professional careers.
