I just read that Crosby Stills and Nash's "Teach Your Children" was inspired by seeing Diane Arbus' "Boy with a Toy Hand Grenade"...can anyone think of any others?

oh shit, voodoo, that was a Lorde joke? Right over my head!

Don't think the Lorde thing is a joke. It was really inspired by that photo.

"Renee and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog After The War"
The title derives from a photograph of the Magrittes and their dog in Belgium by photographer Lothar Wolleh. He took two photographs of them: one, "René and Georgette Magritte With Their Dog During the War", was a black and white photo, purportedly from the World War II era, but likely taken during the 1960s.[3][4] The second, "René and Georgette Magritte With Their Dog", was taken in their home in Belgium in 1967.[5]

'Kevin Carter' was the first thing I thought of, but beaten to it. I'm sure there are actually a fair few of these, but buggered if I can think of any more.

I may be wrong, but I think I read that Patti Smith's "Wave" was inspired by a photo of Pope Paul walking on the beach.
