Your Favorite Photographer?

[John Robertson]

Edward Chambré Hardman worked in Liverpool for many many years, his former studio and house is now a museum, well worth a visit.!!

Walker Evans is my most favourite of all photographers.

Contemporary, I'd have to say Tyler Hicks.

sternfeld and shore tie for second place

 

[John Lawrence]

Favorite photographer? Hard to pick just one, but I'll give it a go. So, based on wear to the spines of the books in my library, it would have to be Ralph Gibson - although the Concise Oxford Dictionary runs him pretty close!

William Eggleston

This of course is something that changes every now and then. At the moment I've been searching around the Japanese photography scene and found a couple of people I really like.

At the moment it is this man called Ken Kitano http://www.ourface.com/english/ I think he is absolutely amazing. Love his works.

For me, purely because of his amazing eye and ability to see situations/compositions that others might miss, Nils Jorgenson - see http://www.flickr.com/photos/nilsjorgensen/

I can't help but like Doisneau for his sheer love of life: http://photography-now.net/robert_doisneau/portfolio1.html

Peter Gasser's work is quite nice, too
