I have researched Nick Knight as he has photographed flowers and women, as well as being a fashion photographer. I noticed that in a few of his photographs, the clothes were captured to look like flowers. I think that from looking at his work, I can take the way he captures flowers into consideration when I am taking photographs. Especially in the photograph of a dying rose, the way he has captured it becomes interesting and no less beautiful than a living rose. I can definitely take his techniques of using shadows into consideration. 
I also researched Marc Quinn after having a tutorial with my tutor, a lot of his work is to do with the way things grow, such as a human embryo, and his own had.
I also found out:
Love Bomb was specially commissioned for Jupiter Artland. The 12-metre-high orchid is the largest work from the series of sculptures, 'Garden' (2000), a walkthrough installation that brought together thousands of flowers frozen 'forever' in an impossibly perfect botanical situation.
These series meditate on the human obsession with beauty, and the tragic fact that it is impossible to maintain - a subject, which has long plagued and inspired artists to create something which transcends the flesh to aspire to the eternal. In Love Bomb the most modern technologies are used to create a modified flower at once monstrous and seductively beautiful to demonstrate the ways in which human desires are now shaping the natural world.

From looking at Marc Quinn’s work I can see that he has made links between humans and flowers, more in the way that humans have a desire for flowers, and also the way humans and flowers grow. His work has really interested me, especially in the ways he has documented the way humans grow. I think that he takes risks with his work and they tend to work out for him. I think that I can make a link with my work and Quinn’s in Love Bomb as he concentrates on the human obsession with beauty, and through my work I am looking at the beauty of women and flowers. His work excites me and inspires me.
