Rut Blees Luxemburg and Todd Hido:

I specifically like Blees’ work because of its Connection between my work which is the use of something that is in-between each other, for example, blees’ captures stairs which everyone uses, but composes it in a way which shows its history and the space around it, similarly my work does the same thing with different environments showing its common interaction with people, but its emptiness is shown, where it is in less of the “spot light”.

Some of Rut Blees Luxemburg’s books include a lot of good presentation of images, with the way she proportions them on her books, but also how some of the images composition connect well with the image next to it.

Similar to Blees’ work Todd Hido creates imagery during the night and captures the environment around him which he deems fit for his theme. MY interpretation of his photo books is a common theme of loneliness through the environment, like this image of a house in a lonely environment. And how he lays out his book with sometimes a title for the image.

Image layouts like this I like because of its consistent use in lines, and dark environment and similar feeling of the image, like a warm feel.

Here Todd Hido shows a connection between windows and doesn’t use big contrast to the feel of the image, which I like a lot.

I like this style of image a lot because of its theme in an empty environment like a room, with an obvious of hidden subject within the image, which shows a sense of familiarity or loneliness.

Connections with images like this is what I will be aiming to do, because it holds a theme in both the pages, this one is the theme of something broken, as it shows a small broken subject and the n a big one.
