As discussed in the "overrated photographers" thread, I think we need this for balance and for a more positive exploration of work that is insufficiently seen and under-appreciated, for whatever reason.
I'll start with two.
First, Sam Abell. He is a name in photography, of course, but I am always surprised by how few people know him and his work. I was fortunate to hear him give a talk at Ohio University in 2003 and that, combined with his book "The Photographic Life," unquestionably changed how I thought about and practiced photography.
Second, architectural photographer Cervin Robinson (http://www.cervinrobinson.com/), whose ability to photograph architecture both for its own merit and within the true context of its surroundings are, to me, unparalleled. His book titled "Cleveland, Ohio" is a particularly good example of this.
