Chapter 10. BE INSPIRED
Developing photography skills goes beyond just using a camera and related software. No matter how comfortable you are technically, you will become a complete photographer only when your own personal style and artistic perspective is reflected in your work. As you learn to appreciate others' work, your own style will naturally evolve.
What inspires and motivates you? What are your primary interests? Whatever they are, you can cultivate these interests by exposing yourself to different photographic styles and techniques. This chapter introduces IR artwork from a variety of respected photographers. It is an opportunity for you to critique and practice identifying those elements that you like and enjoy. Images from nine different photographers may serve as a directional springboard as you develop your own IR artistic identity.
