Bodies of Art

You can only view so many wonderful, amazing pictures before you start becoming inspired to make your own. Michael Taggart started doing photography for local theater companies and learned all the skills needed to get great pictures. He got the equipment for a portable studio and started asking people to be his models. He believes that even a wonderful model on a plain background makes for a boring picture, so he started making his own backgrounds for the pictures. This led to composites where he puts models into different scenes. This gives the picture a story, texture, and history, and in the end, the picture becomes art. It is that art that he loves to share with people, which I do on Flickr and Facebook. His growing number of fans on both sites has inspired him to be more creative, artistic, and inspirational.
