Favorite photographers

[Oly Kod]

Favorite photographer of all time is Ansel Adams. His photos are what inspired me to get into photography but as a hobby & I cant say enough about his work. I had a photography instructor (Art Hand, http://www.arthurhand.com/#) who knew Ansel Adams. Art Hand opened my eyes & inspired me to want to pursue photography in some way.

Favorite photographer now is Angelo Bufalino. I cant say enough about his work either. He opened my eyes to think about how I take pictures of anything.

Yes, and Bruce makes a good point

Everyone named is a great.

Rather think its a shame that Minor White is so often overlooked, possibly because he spent his career teaching and doing research rather than forging a reputation with art directors and editors.

Not necessarily my favourite photographer, but a remarkable photographer nevertheless:

http://www.vam.ac.uk/content/articles/j/julia-margaret-cameron-collection-highlights/


She took up photography in 1864 at the age of 48 and continued for about 10 years. AFAIK she only did portrait photography.

A few years ago I went to an exhibition of top British portrait photographers from 1850 to the present day. The earlier portraits were full length and very formal, normally with the sitter looking at the camera, and this style continued well into the 20th century.

In between came Julia with close ups, subjects looking away from the camera, innovative lighting and props. Walking round the exhibition her photographs were on a totally different level to the photographers before and after her and were only really equaled in the 1920s to 1930s. For sheer impact some of hers were as good as anything in the whole exhibition.


One of my photographic heroines.

I don't have one favorite photographer. I admire the whole crew at National Geographic and at the old LIFE magazine.
