My inspiration and influences range from Renaissance art to Dadaism and Surrealism, from Picasso to the flotsam and jetsam that I pick up on my walks by the sea near my home.

| | Aug 22, 2011 | Bibliographies | | | | Sometime ago I mentioned that the way bibliographic information was provided within Luminous-Lint was far from adequate and so a long awaited and improved system has been added in. This will be a gradual roll-out of the different systems. In order these will be:
- Bibliographic sources relating to individual photographers. Currently example references are added to the "Biographical" pages for each photographer.
- Bibliographic sources on techniques.
- Bibliographic sources by theme. As Luminous-Lint uses over 800 themes this will take a bit of time.
Initially the references will be in an approximation to Harvard style but we can add in other styles and exporting tools later.
Where you have detailed biographies on individual photographers send them through and we'll build as we go.

The 1960s remains one of my favourite periods of Fashion Photography as I was living in London at the time - a bit young to be involved but I do remember in the early 1970s being almost run over when crossing an alley in Soho by a car in which Twiggy was a passenger. She was one of the faces of the 60s for the best of reasons - she was stunning and photographed well. This was the period when David Bailey, Brian Duffy and Terence Donovan demonstrated their talents in fashion photography.
