Photo Artists

My Illustration with Animation course led me to research photography as a means of storytelling. I had previously been a big fan of Jeff Wall's work (below) which opened my eyes to a whole new use for a camera, as I had originally only used my shots for background research or as a reference point, during projects.



So in my final year at university I dedicated my time to researching 'Photo Artists' and walked around the streets of Manchester with a borrowed Nikon. Below is a list of photographers whose work I admire, with examples.
