What Do You See?

Because we all see the world, and what about it inspires us, so differently, I thought I'd start this series called "What do you see?"

Here are two photos and what I see...

Swiss Romance

I'd love to be here! But what I see in this photo is a beautiful blend of gray, black, yellow and white. I LOVE how the yellow of the lighting pops out in this picture against a darkening sky. It will definitely be the basis for an event color palette of mine in the near future.

Shadow Play

This Jil Sander ad caught my eye. It is one of those magazine clippings that I've posted on my real-life inspiration board in my office. I see a shadow play. I LOVE how texture has been brought in with the backlighting of the lattice work. This is something I think could look terrific when translated to an event using a gobo projection.

Share your inspirations with me here, pin them on my Pinterest page (find me at David Merrell), or send me a photo via e-mail with a note about what you see. I'll collect the ones I receive via e-mail in a future blog post!
