Influences and Photographic Art

Jim Benning likes to explore ideas visually through his fine art photography. In doing so he's aware of influences from contemporary photographers and photographic legends in his image making.

Jim will show his images and others while talking about choices and decisions he makes while photographing. Where and how influences which are present everywhere get absorbed and transformed by the photographer then into their images.
