Hi all!

There are many different ways to grow as a photographer (books, exhibits, galleries, workshops ...), but I imagine the most effective way would be to shadow a famous photographer, walk and stand next to them, see what they see!

So if you could follow a famous photographer for one day, who would it be? For me:

Jacob Aue Sobol

 

[BillBingham2]

Alfred Eisenstadt or Bill Pierce.

If my wife wasn't going to find out about it I'd say Helen H.......

B2 (;->

 

[madNbad]

Edward Weston. He could explain the Zone System better than Adams.

Garry Winogrand

 

[Erik van Straten]

Robert Capa on June 6, 1944.

Erik.

 

[benlees]

Lee Friedlander, anywhere out west.

 

[johannielscom]

Yousuf Karsh. Or Dan Winters.

To learn from their lighting and sets, their handling the 4x5, and their handling the subjects.

I suck at photographing people and have no subjects at hand to practise my skills on :bang:

 

[Larry Cloetta]

Lee Friedlander, anywhere out west.

Second this, am guessing it would be the most fun.

Robert Frank....

 

[narsuitus]

Linda McCartney

His instagram account has been amusing for the last couple of months.

Good photographer, great guy!

Concering who I'd like to try and follow, James Nachtwey.
But I don't think I could keep up.

Is there a photographer known for being nice, generous, and enjoying good food and drink?

 

[pechelman]

I'll go for the unconventional and say Neil Armstrong on July 20, 1969.

 

[lukitas]

Penn, Avedon, Koudelka, Salgado...

 

[mike rosenlof]

The first one I thought of is Walker Evans.

 

[Coopersounds]

David bailey, without a doubt

 

[Erik van Straten]

Yevgeni Khaldei on May 2, 1945.

Erik.

 

[Chubberino]

I got to shadow Annie Liebovitz for the day so that was cool.

 

[Erik van Straten]

Henri Cartier-Bresson on May 12, 1937.

Erik.
