The bridal photograph to the left illustrates a good example of high fashion wedding photography. The picture resembles a perfume advertisement with its ethereal quality and artistic pose, yet it captures the bride and the quality of the dress to perfection. Van Gogh began his work relying on the Dutch Masters. He was intrigued by the Masters' ability to have fun with shadow and lightweight. He also found an association in the painting of common events and/or people. For instance, The Potato Eaters captures a small grouping of peasants sitting yourself down for any meal. The painting is dark, yet, light radiates from your faces.
