Francesca Woodman I think that the main inspiration from these shots is mental health. Her story is also really interesting. I would say that Woodman's works are artistic portraits. These works remind me of someone like Gregory Crewdson or Nick Knight, with the dark ambiance attributed to the themes of each photo. I like her works.
