Edward Steichen
Throughout my research I've felt the photographer Edward Steichen has been a huge inspiration of mine. His work in the 19th century was noticed as being the romantic movement called Pictorialism, and he metamorphosed rapidly into one of the leading lights of modernism. Steichen was one of the first to bridge the gap between creative photography and editorial, illustrational, and other applied usages of the medium and In the early decades of the century Steichen, in collaboration with Alfred Steiglitz, helped found the Photo-Secession and its influential journal, Camera Work. 
The image I most admired was the series titled the flatiron building. He tried to emphasize the tallness of the building as it was well known for being the tallest in the city, and how he captured all angles to identify the abstract design( The new era : modernism).
