That is very interesting, Arni! I can see now where your inspiration comes from.
I have not ever formally studied photography or photographers, so I will let you know if I come up with a favorite. There is one that I saw recently... maybe someone knows her... she photographed the reality of the plight of the Japanese-Americans and those residing in the US who were put into camps in the US during WWII. I read that while Ansel Adams chose to depict one side of what was happening, she showed another. I thought her work was quite good. (Anyone know her name?)
If any others seem inspiring, I will add to this thread.

Right now my fav is Sante D'Orazio. Love his black and white, and the sensuality of most of his work.

Hmmm... I don't have a favorite photographer. I haven't been doing this long enough to know what I like and what I don't like. I would say that my current favorite photographer is one of the members of my camera club. It seems that his vision and mine are very similar...

Somewhat earlier Dorothea Lange shot simalar images of migrant farmworkers and others relocated because of the Great Depression. I don't know if she photographed displaced Japanese-Americans during WWII. Hopefully this link will take you to a list of her work at the Library of Congress. |

| I can not say that Charles Sheeleris my favorite but he was an early strong influence on my ideas about art and photograhy. |

Might I suggest borrowing 'the photo book' from a local library. Not
to say that this is the best collection of photography ever put together
(as it has a quite strange selection in a lot of cases, and a lot of
reportage work) but it might be a springboard to finding new artists that
you would enjoy.
I don't know that I'd recommend buying it - there are two formats, a
small version that is too small to be worth looking at and a larger format
that is too expensive to be worth owning :)

I have viewed volumes and volumes of photography, including that one. There is a lot of stuff that I really like. I just haven't been looking at any of it long enought to claim a favorite....
