I'm writing my dissertation for my photography module, looking at Bill Brandt, Ansel Adams, Fay Godwin and (my favourite) Joe Cornish. I have found a quote in the Ansel Adams book that I think fits Joe Cornish's work perfectly, or at least he achieves this quote.


“Irving Penn … said that the colour photographers skill ‘must be used to keep the fantasy of perfection always fresh and desirable, to open his lens on the world for all to see and marvel at.’”


Callahan, Harry, M., Ansel Adams in Colour, ( Canada: Little, Brown & Company, 1993) p.20

I would love to achieve this with my photography. I'd love to be able to take photos like Joe Cornish, I wonder if he'd let me be his assistant when I finish uni?
