When I envision a final photograph I try to use every skill I have available. For me, that includes using my memory from every photograph, every painting, and every movie I have ever seen. Photography is a visual art and as such, it should utilize every memory of everything we have seen. This, to me, is what makes a photograph a work of art rather than merely a snapshot where “I saw a scene and took a picture of the same”. We, as visual artists need to engage our audience, even if that audience is just ourselves.
