For starters...
Art, Music, Life, Death, Love - you name it. Widely varied and often unhealthy.
Oh, and I guess my photography...
Music
Is everything. Yes, I agree.
I'm so ecclectic it's frightening. Let's just go with... Pink Floyd, Tori Amos, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Jeff Buckley, NIN, Guns N Roses, Pearl Jam, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks, Alanis Morrisette, Chili Peppers, Kate Bush, every goddamn big hair 80's band you can name, Smashing Pumpkins, U2, the Doors, Neil Young, Sonic Youth, Angry Chick Rock, Placebo, My Chemical Romance, Enya [shutup], Crowded House, early Garbage, 90's indie rock ... hell, ANY kind of rock, especially classic Dino Rock... eh, there are just too many and you've stopped reading anyway.
Movies
As with music, you really don't want to know, you'll die before you get to the end of the list.
But I will tell you that Kubrick, Lynch and Peter Greenaway have been a constant source of inspiration over the years.
Television
God yes, someone just buy me Cable dammit!
Gimme MTV and Rage 24/7 and I will die a happy woman.
More often than not, Music Video directors inspire me no end. At some point I wouldn't mind trying my hand at it.
Directors you should check out - Mark Romanek, Chris Cunningham, Stephane Sednaoui, Floria Sigismondi, Jonas Akerland, Samuel Bayer, Peter Christopherson... the list goes on. Check them out at http://www.mvdbase.com/

I am Harmony - yes, that's my real name. I am a Photographer, not a Suicide Girl, and I don't have a terribly strong grip on reality when it comes to my photography. That's about all you need to know. If you want more info, email me.
My style of work has sometimes been described as Hyper-Real or dreamlike, with an underlying comically sinister critique on society blah blah blah... I just like to think of it as Pink Floyd with caffeine withdrawal. Sometimes it's fine art, sometimes it's fashion, and sometimes it just IS.
Hell, you can just judge for yourself...
..
I am always coming up with ideas and experimenting with the tools of my trade, so am in need of willing humans to bring my concepts to life - in fact, if I've added you, there is a 99% chance I would like to shoot you.
Musicians, designers, models, performers etc - hit me up if you want something different in your portfolio.
Everyone else, feel free to drop me a note, add me or just swing past and say hi if you're interested in working with me, or just like my stuff - I don't bite.
If you would like to see more examples of my work, check out the slideshow above or click on the banners below and visit my gallery at DeviantArt and Model Mayhem for a good hard look at my artistic endevours and especially the latter for a full CV run down. Don't forget to check back, as I am constantly updating these pages until my official website is launched in the coming months, including any forthcoming exhibitions or publications my work will be featured in.
And yeah, I'm part of the YouTube generation:

Some of the kickass people whom I have had the pleasure of working with, and that I shamelessly pimp:
My Evil Twin.
...but hey, you'll do.
Musicians - god yes, let's help each other get into Rolling Stone. And maybe someone can finally teach me to play the Bass...
Models - always on the look out for fresh blood
Designers - throw your clothes at me and I'll make them look good, or die trying
Not to mention Painters, Poets, Dreamers, Madmen... Madwomen for that matter, Pretty gay boys who wear makeup [<3], Nerds, Loners, the funny guy who never got the Girl, the entire alternative subculture set, sarcastic witty bastards who know way too much about random pointless crap - any kind of creative individual is welcome here.
