Does that mean that I make up a question?

If so:

What famous portrait photographer has had the opportunity to photograph ALL of the following:

Ansel Adams, Fidel Castro, JFK, Bill Clinton, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, and many may more..

Since nobody else is weighing in, here's an amusing, offbeat question:

Who can name the fine, fine photographer of the Adams/Weston school who had an unusual, "insignificant" name?

Name the photographer,born in 1876 who survived 2 World Wars, known for his work between the wars consisting of "simple natural portraits that show the subject in an environment corresponding to their own individuality." Considered by many to be the Father of evironmental portraiture.

Hint: He was German and lived there his entire life. The works metioned above were divided into seven sections: The Farmer, The Skilled Tradesman, The Woman, Classes and Professions, The Artists, The City, and The Last People (homeless persons, veterans, etc.) His studio was destroyed in a bombing raid during WWII.

(Newman was the Master, but this guy predated him by several years)

A pioneer of photography, he was married to a groundbreaking female painter identified with the American Southwest; who was he, and who was she?

Well, that's half of it...

This American photographer started in 1976 taking pictures of her children. She grew into fashion work and is also famous for her work done using a proprietary printing process done only at the factory in France.

Who is the photographer and what is the name of the process?

No, the printing is ONLY done at the atelier in France. The person running the atelier is the grandson of the inventor and the exact process is a closely guarded family secret. The process was invented in the late 19th century and adapted to allow color printing in the early 1950's.

Good guess with the kids tho
