How can a business with two principal photographers qualify as a favorite photographer

...in any case, I've always liked Helmut Newton.

I like Arthur Morris ... his bird photos (at least those in this book) are outstanding and very inspiring. John Shaw is another person I admire .. for the macros and landscapes.

One's the photographer, and the other is mostly the office assistant.

O. Winston Link. He was a commercial photographer in NYC, but in the late 1950s he began photo'ing trains around West Virginia etc. that belonged to Norfolk & Western. The man was a genius! He rigged up extensive lighting sets using flash bulbs and lots of wire. He shot 4x5 b&w. He would spend a day getting the lights ready and then nail the shot as the engines sped by. The man is my hero! He has not been matched since. I think he was a better photographer than St. Ansel. He was the main inspiration for me to begin lighting up trains and photo'ing them at night. I have a long ways to go though! He really, really understood light. The only modern photographer that is in his class might be Joe McNally.

I'm going to say Carleton Watkins - the first photographer to haul a large format glass plate camera to Yosemite. His American landscapes are completely breathtaking and inspirational. The Getty Museum in L.A. has a pretty good collection and there are often prints on exhibit there. The Monterey Museum of Art in Monterey, Ca. also has a great collection.

A. Aubry Bodine.
Baltimore's legendary photographer for the Baltimore Sun from 1920 till his death in 1970.
A master in the darkroom his images still inspire reminding us of a simpler traditional life on the Chesapeake Bay , Maryland, Virginia and Easter Pennsylvania. Baltimore and surrounding cities immortalized. His shot of a row of Baltimore marble steps and a shot of Burnside bridge were just two of his award winning photographs. Those of us who grew up with the Baltimore Sun saw those images grace the Sunday magazine almost every week. There has been no photographer in Baltimore to match his artistry and eye for light and subject matter.

The problem is, you don't know anything that you don't know. To say this another way, you can't learn anything new from your favorite photographer.

My favorite photographer hands down is Donald Miralle, from getty Images. He has been awarded the best sports photographer before. His creative perspectives are why he is my favorite. He gets angles and perspectives that makes you wonder how he envisioned that and really goes outside the box.

Let's not be hasty with that, eh.

If we can accept that sometimes Zoomer doesn't know what is that he is doing, and if something good comes out of it thru sheer luck, then he might be able to learn something new from it.

From an article about Rihanna in today's New York Times...

Credited as an art director on "Rated R", she [Rihanna] spends her off time looking at fashion photography for visual inspiration. "Jean-Paul Goude is amazing", she said. "Helmut Newton is by far my favorite, because not only is everyone almost always naked, but they look good naked, and a lot of them have weapons in their hands."
