Visual Poetry
My inspiration for film comes from Esther Cannon. I first discovered her on Instagram, and I knew a few people who had their photos taken by her for their weddings or other special occasions. I followed her on Instagram and instantly fell in love with the way she shoots her photos. It’s so hard to pick just a few to share, as her work is truly captivating. What I love about her photos is that they feel like they tell a beautiful story. It’s in the way she frames her shots, the way she uses light, and the intimacy she creates with her subjects. I feel like I’m in the moment when I see her photos. She does a remarkable job of capturing emotion, and I think that’s what makes her an incredible photographer.
Her ability to freeze raw emotion in a single frame makes me want to create work that resonates on a similar level. Whether it’s the vulnerability in a wedding portrait or the quiet connection between two people, her images transport me to a different place and time. I aspire to capture that same depth of emotion and storytelling in my own photography and film.
