All hail Flickr.
To be honest, a lot of my inspirations come from the wide variety of photographs on Flikr. It provides a platform for people to share their work that I think that’s a really good concept, learning from one another, exchanging creative views and insights. Whenever I feel like I am faced with a mental block, I would turn to Flikr to get my creative juices flowing. Just the overwhelming amount of professional work pushes me to critique, to think out of the box.
I have been a great great fan of this particular photographer for a long time. I feel that his photographs have a unique ability to incite a sense of tranquil, tempting one to abandon all our work and take some time to just enjoy the few frames of beauty. His pictures of the Maldives is exactly what I envision paradise to be like. It has a surreal, almost ethereal quality to it. I love how the water surface looks so calm, the texture reminds me of velvet, soft and smooth. Looking at his pictures, it is almost as though I can feel the breeze in my hair, taste the saltiness of the water at the tip of my tongue.
His photographs inspired me to explore the different ways of capturing the water surface using acrylic paint
