Unconsious Inspiration

Inspiration can come from everywhere! I've noticed that a few of my photographs look visually similar to the cover of Solid Air by John Martyn. My dad had this album in his vinyl collection and I used to enjoy getting all the gate folds out and looking at the artwork on them.

I searched for the artist who made this iconic art but to no avail. I did, however, find out the technique used to capture the image; Schlieren photography, a form of Shadowgraph photography. I would love to try this form of photography some time.

This photo was taken last week as part of my experimentations with a few classmates. When I saw this photo later on, I was instantly reminded of solid air. Was this unconsious inspiration or just chance?

This is a photo I took almost a year ago now, not only does it make me think of multi dimensional beings communicating with us but it also features a hand silhouette. Funnily enough, quite a few people have likened this photo to Solid Air also.
