Loving the studio work with Dave, he is very helpful and full of knowledge.
I've tried to get in the studio as often as I can. I took a group of photos for my advertising brief, Dave made some helpful suggestions as to how I could improve upon them if I went back into the studio.
He suggested shooting low key and greater use of hands, also trying to fill the frame more.
I have looked at the following photographers exhibitions and web pages :
I was lucky enough to go to the Avedon exhibition while in Paris, while there I made detailed notes.

I particularly liked his uptown series of work, here are a few link below, the studio images have a lovely simple lighting style which just seems to work in my opinion ;

Overall I have found Rankin and Avedon have been my main inspiration photographically. Both photographers produce quite differing work from differing periods of time, but both are an inspiration to me.

I looked at a variety of Rankin's fashion work and advertising work. In particular I liked his low key studio work below. I think he used simple, but clever lighting techniques in this photo.
I also love the following photo, but was not sure how he had achieved it.
This photo helped me consider the use of hands in my photography shoot.
The above Rankin image is very similar to this Avedon photo below :
My biggest frustration has been my model failing to turn up or the weather, both of which have meant that approximately 4 attempts to get in to the studio have failed.
Such is life though.
