A photographer I am inspired by would be Maleonn Mae. His work is highly narrative and is strongly based on the imagination and the power of the daydream. He believes that the imagination is a powerful tool for escape, and this is what he bases his work on. I was drawn to his series called the postman. I like his ideas of this explorer who has the power to go wherever he want in this dream world. I like the almost childhood idealism of a world with no boundaries that Maleonn talks about in his imagery. Maleonn’s work visually reminds me of some of the expressionist paintings that first inspired me. I like the idea of using a focal character within the work that takes us through varying landscapes.
