Stephen Shore

Stephen Shore is a very successful photographer who has been widely publishing and exhibiting his work for the past 40 years. I have looked into his work and have chosen to research into his work from the American beauty project. I have chosen to do this as I will use his work as inspiration in helping me to create my own works. I will use his work as inspiration because I feel with my idea of using train stations/travelling as my location and idea, it will help me to research into his work as I feel it could help me a lot as they seem to be a similar style etc to what I want my final outcomes to be. As well as researching and looking at the work he does I also found and watched this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRM2X1GnNSQ . Which also helps to understand how and why he creates the work he does and helps me a lot more in creating my own work. I feel that I can successfully create my own work using Stephen Shore as my influential photographer as help along the way and in the end create successful images and a successful outcome which will be a photo book.
