| Imogen Cunningham is the first photographer that comes to my mind. One of the pioneers, she could photograph anything with sensitivity. Her plant forms are spectacular. I had the pleasure of meeting this amazing person late in her life in San Francisco. |

I'm inspired by this thread! Going to mark it "watched" as soon as I finish this post.
"Why?" swinging_johnson_v1 keeps asking. This thread inspires me because I've never been exposed (excuse the pun) to at least half of these photographers. It thrills me to see such a wide range of possibilities.
I haven't studied all the links yet, but nearly all of the photographers that have been linked to here are amazing. I especially liked Gregory Crewdson shots that look so "normal" on the surface, but are deeply eerie when you look at them closely. |

I can't believe I forgot about Mattias Klum. Sweden has a couple of great photographers - Mattias Klum for his nature shots and Lennart Nilsson for his amazing fetus shots. Victor Hasselblad was also Swedish.
Mattias Klum
The only thing I can find about Lennart Nilsson are books |

Annie Leibovitz.
You know you've made it to the big times when the Simpsons spoofs your work. They had a really arsty black and white shot of Reverend Lovejoy on the news with the caption "photo by Annie Leibovitz" - hysterical.
And Dustin Rabin - Band Photography ... he's quality.

For me it would be Yousef Karsh, a world reknowned portrait photographer. I had the great pleasure of viewing several of his portraits and of meeting this master. Some of his works can be seen here.

Mike Nichols has a wonderful collection of wild animals, including my favorite kind - chimps! His images are shocking, emotive, and even sometimes fun. He is able to communicate exactly what is needed in order to educate to the masses.
Tim Flach is opposite in his approach to animal photography and shoots them in studio settings. His images are stunning and are full of grace and humor. |

I've seen this site before. I am leaning towards his portraits over his animal shots. The work he's done with the fluid motion of people is really great. His animal work, while good, doesn't compare in my mind. |

Christopher Burkett: Pacific Northwest Nature Photographer
I love Burkett's way of seeing illumination of light within the natural landscape, the inner natural radiance of creation. We own several of his photo books, including "Intimations of Paradise" and "Resplendent Light". This past Fall 2004, I heard him lecture on nature photography and photo processing in the darkroom. At that lecture, I also met him. He is the real stuff: genius, yet down-to-earth, humble, warm and very willing to share his experience, insights with novices. Great human being. Visionary photographer!
Notes from his website:
"Burkett was born in 1951 and was reared in the Pacific Northwest. In 1975, while he was a brother in a Christian order, he became interested in photography as a means of expressing the grace, light and beauty he saw present in the world of nature."
Type of camera Burkett uses:
"...his pursuit of pristine settings often necessitates a certain amount of heavy-equipment lugging--including, most notably, his old-fashioned 8X10 Calumet C-1 metal flat-bed view camera."
Type of post-photo processing Burkett employs:
"...Burkett's work schedule has rightly been referred to as "monastic." During the 10 months each year when he's not traveling and taking pictures, he spends 14 hours a day, six days a week, in his darkroom meticulously hand-printing his 8X10 transparencies and turning them into dazzling, light-infused 20X24-inch and 30X40-inch Cibachrome (Ilfochrome Classic Deluxe) fine prints. A traditionalist by nature, Burkett uses no filters, and nothing is ever cropped, digitally manipulated, or enhanced in any way."

i love landscape photography but there are so many people who are good at that.
Two of my favorites are chip simons //www.chipsimons.com because his images are just far and away the most interesting, creative commercial images i've seen by any photographer these days.
and Phillipe Halsman. His image with dali "dali atomicus" is one of my favorite photographs ever.
I'm a fan of any photography that documents anything that doesn't look real (when done well obviously) |

Anton Corbijn is, I guess, the most well known Dutch Photographer outside our little country.
He doesn't realy inspire me, I mean, I don't "want to be like him" but I like his photography, and his versatility.
He's not only a Photographer but also a Director film maker etc...
You'll recognise some of his models I guess...

Art Kane and Annie Leibovitz because they bring so much personality and fun into their protraits.
although, the style i most admire and aspire to create myself comes from two "not quite famous (yet)" photographers:
Stefan Rohner because of his gritty realism along with a touch of surrealism. also, his portraits are the most amazing things i've ever seen. more of his work can be seen here Stefan.
my very dear friend Knox...sweet, funny, sentimental...emotion just pours out of his images. more of his work is here Alley Cats and here streetkid. |

Jerry Uelsmann
Without a doubt, he has produced some of the most amazing photographs I've seen. His photographs have a very surreal/dreamy feel to them and many are heavily manipulated in the darkroom. Here's some more stuff from his personal site too. |
