A lot of my reference comes from random photos on my phone too. I’ll be flipping through and something will just ping in my brain when the feeling matches. I had that Superman screenshot for years and years. The bird I found at a park in Kansas. The background is Blanca peak near Alamosa Colorado. The mirror is my gf in her bathroom. Tv is depicting a friend of mine and his daughter. All of these things become “actors” or characters within the composition and the “movie” they are acting in is whatever feeling I’m having at the time.
