Every idea starts with an inspiration. I have this evoked set of inspirations and influences but depending on the creative problem that needs to be solved others will always enter the stage right. This page shows just a staple of my go-to inspirations. Because none of these examples are random. There is a strong conceptual belief in all of them. Jacques Henry Lartigue, Louise Dahl Wolfe, Stanley Kubrick, Brian Duffy, Gustav Klimt, Lucienne Day and Foale & Tuffin, Brodovitsch, Edward Lear and Massimo Vignelli — just to name a few.
