William Borschmann Photography

Coffee, Cigarettes, Tar filled lung's, midnight dreams filled with solace and endless coastlines of a shimmering mirage. whiskey rivers on mahogany bench tops where empty chairs face each other from across the room looking at a back and white picture of a romance as inspicuous as the last before, while a lonesome observer depicts the instance on 35mm Film. My name is William Borschmann and i am a Melbourne based freelance photographer. Portfolio - http://williamborschmann.500px.com

Deserted street where my mind lies, when i am listening to the gossip teen, who’s life is going nowhere but a night shift dressed in white as that’s the only innonce she has left.

Review you're place in lives queue for the travellers wife departed the seminar where no one learns and are just left weighing up their over educated options. We strive for greatness but not all of us make it to a peaceful retirement view.

There are some moments that stay with you all the way through life's monoply enterprise of wealth and fame, the poor can not be blamed for it is not their fault they won't make it through to live on the moon.

Stockholm born photographer Joakim Blockstrom

Blockstrom's Portraits are having an influence on my upcoming folio of work, through the use of composition and how the environment reflects the characterists about the subject matter. 

The use of natural light and mild tones creates are soft presence but there is such a strong stance drawn from the use of posture within each portrait.

Photographer Nathan Osterhaus

Osterhaus's Photographs remind me of Jeffrey Smarts Paintings and also the work of Rick Amor. There is a real sense of isolation in the  desolate industrial landscapes that have been beautifully composed by Osterhaus. 

He takes the mundane normality and pictures it as something the normal person passing through would not see. They beauitfully crafted use of natural light and use of substance within the frame itself really speaks in volumes to me, while i attempt to tackle my first photographic shoot for the semester for my folio. 

I find this series of images to be very inspiriational and has defiantly shaped my approach to my own subject matter.

German Photographer Juergen Teller

Juergen's Photographs have a real sense of Candid Portraiture through the feel and colours within each singular photograph. The have a feeling like they are frames from a film from the 1960's period. I guess this is derived from the colours, nature of the subject matter and other aspect within each singular image. 

The Photograph of David Hockney covered in his own ash for me is one of the most gratifying images of Hockney. It captures he character and his habits as an artist himself. The use of tonality and colour palette also for me reflects Hockney for who he is, the dominate fixture of flowers that correspond so clearly with the Velvet Lounge Chair. Juregen creates relationships within his images and this why i am so drawn to his photographs. 

They have a real sense of understanding and reflect the true side of the subject matter. this is something i must drawn on when doing my backyard suburb series of portraits, food for thought.

Everything we say and do is a reflection of our character. Some choose to lie as for me theres not enough time to lie about what is not meant to be.

You can be frail on the outside and strongly minded within. No use being the opposite, who does not know their own cause. Reflections can leave some mad and tattered while others are beyond any means of living their ambitious carefree dream, and stay living in the dark shadows of grim street.
