What artists ' work do you go to for inspiration? 2005-04-28 - By kim aldis

If lighting is your thing, look further back in the movies. One of the best
lit movies I've ever seen is Orson Welle's 'A Touch of Evil'. The original
60's series of 'The Outer Limits' was also far better lit than most people
give it credit for. These were all lit using hard light sources, arguably of
particular relevance to us but most importantly they're good illustrations
basic lighting technique and because they're hard light sources it's easy to
see how the lighting is constructed.
One of my favourite modern movies for lighting is Joel and Ethan Cohen's
'The Man Who Wasn't There'.
Also look to the great stills photographers. Edward Weston, Art Kane, Brian
Griffin, Snowdon.
