Influnces:
Dorthea Lange has influenced me in my black and white photography. I love the way she makes the person pose and highlights the subject through contrast. She also likes to emphasize some of the background. For example, a mother looking distressed while highlighting the children beside her. She learned to take and visualize good photos and portraits from her Grandmother and Mother.
