Lee Friedlander

Friedlander's focus on creating a 'social landscape' is a feature which inspired my own work. From my media studies this term I've enjoyed the concept that the media we create, in fact shapes society. It could be related to the idea of a social landscape, as our environment shapes us.

I'm a big fan of Friedlander's use of reflection, at times it's used to establish a location of the photograph without sidetracking the main subject of the picture.
