Shanna Merola

I love Shanna's work because it contains so much history within it. She is interested in the same photographic style and subject as I am, and I think that her images are absolutely beautiful. Her work, much like Sally Mann's as well as early photographers, has a timeless feel to it that I want to be able to accomplish myself.

Sally Mann




Sally Mann's "Deep South" series is so interesting to me because of the history the land contains. Her images have the same sort of fogginess and spookiness that very old photography contains, which draws me to her work so much.
