For my first inspiration post I chose a guy I greatly admire. Mark Borthwick is a photographer, filmmaker, musician, poet and an amazing cook. He worked a lot in the nineties with some of fashion most important and innovatives magazines ; Self Service, Purple, I.D. and Index. Borthwick is recognized for being at the forefront of a movement that broke through the conventions of fashion photography and his influence is strongly being felt today. He explains  he now retired from doing editorial photography to give all those pages to the new generation of photographers.He is  also known for his dinner parties/musicals performances/installation of his drawings, photographs, poems and collages.

Have a look at his website where you can also download for free all his albums. Enjoy.
