Pete Turner is probably my favourite photographer of all time. His work has been a huge influence on various aspects of my work, from game design to photography to film. I think it is the combination of amazing colour and minimal design.
There is an otherworldly sense about his images that talks directly to my love of sci-fi and fantasy, Indeed, he himself is clearly influenced by 2001 a Space Odyssey, specifically the surreal Stargate sequence. Have a look at this image to see for yourself:
His “Night train” photo (see above) could have easily been a hard sci-fi book cover…
I added some of my own images in this post to show how I try to deal with similar aesthetic choices. Not that I would place myself anywhere near the level of this master, but simply to show that the influence is there.
I don’t always realise it myself, but Pete Turner’s images continue to whisper in my ear. Not a bad thing I think…
