Inspiration

As a musician I am around people who play in bands alot. I am thinking for my final folio to focus on people and typologies. I want to take portrait style pictures of musicians in their environments and try to capture their individual style and personalites within the pictures. People in bands tend to dress or represent themselves in a certain style influenced by their preference in musical genre and usually appear alternative to mainstream culture. I might take my camera out with me one night and try to capture some photographs of people at Melbourne's alternative and rock venues such as cherry bar in AC/DC lane.
Ideas: buskers, nightlife, gigs, culture, events...

I found this image on deviant art and I like the way the amps and gear is shown in the background with the model posed at the front. I'm not sure if I want to take posed pictures but perhaps more capturing people in a moment.

I looked up some portrait pictures of some artists I like.

Debbie Harry - Blondie


Debbie Harry by Andy Warhol

I also looked at a photographer of rockstars, named Greg Waterman. He has taken pictures of artists such as Kings Of Leon, Cypress Hill, Nirvana, Marlyn Manson and many more.
Chrissy Amphlett of The Divinyls. Whilst searching for this picture, I found some photos on a blog which really capture the essence of what I'm looking for on this blog.
The Sex Pistols - I like the way this image captures a moment of playfulness and childlike behavior by the band and lets people see into a glimpse of their lives. I prefer the spontaneity in this picture rather than a posed band shot.
