Reference information ... yup, that is an animal unto itself as well.
Walk into Antelope Canyon for the first time ... it looks WAY DIFFERENT than the renderings that can be achieved photographically, It would have been a nice preparation to have known what to expect regarding the diff @ what I was striving for, and what I would encounter en route and upon arrival.
AA was noted for his \'previsualization\' of what his final product would become ... yours will be a forerunning visual representation of what one will encounter prior to attempting the creation of their vision. Other than using AA for a map of iconic imagery ... you probably should kick your associations to AA style to the curb, down the mountain, off the cliff and to the bottom of the ocean ... as they will likely be of little value to you in helping you achieve your objective to deliver your message to your audience.
You can probably \"rewind\" a whole bunch of things previously said, now that the intended message/audience is realized to be vastly different from what it was previously thought it to be. AA\'s body of work and technique have little relativity here ... other than it moves a lot of people to want to go to those places. Since his work has already done that, yours is not intended to be a repeat, but a reference.
