If you could shadow a famous photographer for one day, who would it be?

[maggieo]

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

Peter Turnley!

Also, William Eggleston.

For me it would be Felice Beato and/or John Thomson, but as Patrick Watson once said, "to do that one would first need a shovel".

 

[Hatchetman]

Robert Capa on June 6, 1944.

Erik.

This. If you can guarantee I won't be killed.

 

[plummerl]

Minor White!

 

[rfaspen]

That's an interesting thought for sure.

I honestly don't know!

There were times when I would have liked to be with Y. Karsh, all those interesting and influential people; and times with Salgado (as mentioned earlier). I can also imagine some interesting moments with Helmut Newton 😀

 

[scorpius73]

Jeanloup Sieff or Avedon for me.

 

[DougFord]

O Winston Link... back in the day.

 

[WJJ3]

Are you kidding me? The human trash Terry Richardson...

No, really it would be Pierre Bossier.

 

[lynnb]

The first ones who came to mind were Elliott Erwitt and Willy Ronis.. but there are so many others in different genres like portrait and reportage who would be equally interesting!

 

[Dan Daniel]

Helen Levitt; Eugene Atget; Timothy O'Sullivan

 

[Ranchu]

Jeanloup Seiff, Antonin Kratochvil, Guy Bourdin

 

[aizan]

brassai. yeah, that's the life!

 

[Huss]

David bailey, without a doubt

Are you kidding me? The human trash Terry Richardson...

And Helmut Newton.

Everyone else...zzzzzzz

😀

[Larry Cloetta]

Nobody wants to hang with Weegee? 🙁

[John Bragg]

Jane Bown without a doubt and she did like good food and a few drinks. James Ravilious would also have been fun and both were adept at disappearing and recording a special reality.

At this moment I would love to shadow Peter Van Agtmael.
