I’m looking to explore new visual artists for inspiration, particularly in photography and generative coding. Who are your favorite artists in these fields? Any recommendations for books (photo albums), websites, or projects to check out?

for photography, I really enjoy Benjamin Beech from Japan. he does a lot of work for tourism associations there, for instance: https://www.beechphotography.tokyo/visit-mie

There’s also Adrien Sanguinetti. He’s also based in Japan but honestly I really just enjoy his street photography videos. He does an excellent job narrating while wearing an action cam how he composes his photos. What types of compositional elements he uses. etc. His youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@adriensanguinetti

I don’t think my street photography would’ve really taken as much form as it has if not for watching his videos.

I really like the pen plotting art made by Adam Fuhrer. It was posted here a while back. https://adamfuhrer.com/pen-plotting

Tyler Hobbs is one of my favorite generative artists. I recently enjoyed his talk "How to Hack a Painting" from Strange Loop 2017

Generative art - I produced a collaboration with Gee’s Bend, Anna Lucia, and the Artist Rights Society.

It’s called “generations.”

It was a pretty crazy project that took 2+ years to produce.

Anna is really talented. The Gee’s Bend quilters are some of the finest artists in America.
