Famous Photographers

I have made a selection of famous photographers that I hope will interest you with lots of information about their works and biographies, the people who have changed the art and craft of the image and shaped the way we look at the world. One of the best ways to learn about photography is to study the Masters.

When Ansel Adams photographed Yosemite National Park he gave ecology a style of presentation we still employ today; Diane Arbus forced us to confront sectors of society that a polite bourgeoisie denied; Robert Mapplethorpe shocked, while Walker Evans gave new profundity and art to documentary photography.

These, and figures such as Helmut Newton, Robert Capa, Edward Weston, Bill Brandt, Lee Friedlander and Lewis Hine, are studied in this section through concise essays that provide appraisal and analysis of these photographers' roles in the history of photography.

I have planned some articles for the near future which include the very famous photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson as well as other lesser known names such as Lothar Wolleh, Fay Godwin and Mathew B Brady. Plus articles on the work of famous women photographers,, famous portrait photographers and famous black photographers - to name just a few! These articles will build into a gallery of major artists and influences in the world of the photograph. They will complement and comment upon the articles contained in the Guide to Photography section.
