Neil Thomas Douglas / A Stranger View
The project came to me after reading Martin Parr’s book, ‘The Last Resort’. I love his quirky and colourful outlook on the great British public and thought it would be fun to put the camera in the hands of the public and get their visual opinion on their surroundings.
The project also came from my appreciation of street photography. I have always enjoyed the way street...

What inspires you ?
Urban landscapes have inspired me for a long time, when I lived in Paris. Most often blasted places or districts under construction behind the scenes. Now that I live in the countryside, the landscape has changed but desolated places still attract me.

Trick question ! In the past, I used to emphasize the composition and the mood with...

What inspires you?
water is a frequent subject of mine, as are tree branches, small curling sprouts, and land- or seascapes — particular natural shapes keep repeating themselves over and over — but ultimately, it’s all about the light. and inspiration sometimes lurks in strange places, so i tend to carry a camera or two with me at all times, just in case.

What inspires you?
The atheistic of heroine chic meets farm girl. Balancing extremes from opposite ends of the social scale.
Describe your photography style.
I would say highly detailed, my photos are almost an eye spy. sometimes there overwhelming, but I find comfort in the chaotic nature of my photos.

Jenn [Beyond Words]
Photography is something that has grown to mean a lot to me, especially since starting my 365 project. I first became seriously interested about a year ago, when I started doing some small commercial and event work. From there I bought my first DSLR and began to collect lenses. I use self-portraiture to express a lot of personal emotion. It is, in a way, a visual diary for me. Photography is...
Donovan Rees [Beyond Words]
What inspires me. The people I love in perfect light. Moody weather, dirty but honest places, incongruities, the beauties of analogue photography and the alchemy of hand-development. Other people’s work also, to revel in without replicating it.
My style. Do I have one? Perhaps I’m too close to see it. I prefer to let each situation or subject speak for itself and I’m ready...

Describe your photography style.
My style keeps changes, deeply related to the gear I use. But it doesn’t mean my interest is changing rapidly. Some people might find out that my “style” has to many distractions, and does not have a certain kind of consistency but I think I’m a photographer that doesn’t have so much various styles.

Anne-Claude Thébault [Beyond Words]
On her photos included in Beyond Words:
“I can’t say that these photographs have been inspired by a book strictly speaking, but what I can tell is that I made them under the influence of a book I recently read. “Le Sentiment d’imposture” (‘The imposture feeling) , which author is Belinda Cannone, a French writer, is a brilliant and lively essay about doubt,...

What inspires you?
Simplicity
Describe your photography style.
Looking for little details. Finding some order amongst chaos, some beauty amongst the mundane. Thinks like that.
What does photography mean to you?
It slows me down, makes me look, helps me see - otherwise I tend to rush by.

Lisa Manfre [Beyond Words]
What inspires you?
The fabulous fifties and sixties eras really inspire me. I’m almost only looking at photographs from that time. I love how everything looked much more interesting and beautiful compared to nowadays. I would give anything to be able to take photos in that period. Also, music and nature are definitely a big source of inspiration to me.

What inspires you?
Negative space that Architecture leaves behind and how people react to that space.
Describe your photography style.
Hmm, I hate this kind of question but i personally think my style of photography is very erratic, constantly changes as i’m always experimenting with new ideas.
How did you get into photography?
I grew up within a creative family with my Dad doing...

Imagine, picture a result and take a photo.
How did you get into photography?

Samantha Murasko [Beyond Words]
What are your influences?
I think growing up in the suburbs and woods of northern New Jersey has probably been my biggest influence. My family, the landscape, and the light are all what keeps me coming back. I guess that’s what I get for living in New York City.
What does photography mean to you?
Photography helps me remember everything I’d otherwise forget. That is something I...
Anna Joskowiak [Beyond Words]
What inspires you?
I’m inspired by other wonderful artists’ work, by things, colors, even daily news, music and old movies, yeah I guess , music and old movies plays the main part in my work, I love observing and listening the world, sometimes I think my life is defined by other people experiences and odd circumstance I’m taking a part or some words I was read or it was said. ...

What gives you inspiration?
Primarily I’m inspired by new things and new experiences, be that new music, new books, new food or new cities. I love to process information, pull conclusions and understand things. When I enter friends’ houses who have books; I want to go over pull the books out and look, not just pictures but the paper quality, the font chosen, how the kerning is set, the...
