Who's work leaves your jar on the floor..
This isn't an MM popularity contest.. I'm trying to open my eyes to new things (I really am as poorly read and photographically clueless as I've claimed to be..) So, outside of MM.. Who's work in the real world makes you feel unworthy to ever have picked up a camera? Link to it if they have work online you can show (and if they don't the info isn't going to help me any).. And what it is about their work that floors you.. Edit: This thread would get a better response if I knew how to type JAW!

(Not a knock.. That may be one of my all time favorite films.. Who knew envy could be such a pure and classy emotion?) Dec 22 06 04:04 pm Link Dec 22 06 04:06 pm Link Jan Saudek: www.saudek.com He is by turns whimsical, disturbing, and just plain beautiful, and he's been making damn fine art with all kinds of body types for decades. The man is just a genius. (Taschen is also publishing a new book of his work in the spring. I can't wait!) Andreas Bitesnitch: www.bitesnitch.com His nude work gives me butterflies. Adrzej Dragan: http://andrzejdragan.com His portraits, particularly of old people, I think are some of the best photography out there right now. From the lighting to the texture to the sincere glimpse of emotion and personality, it's all gorgeous.

His use of light. I think he loved light as much as he loved women. Your work posted here actually is a bit along the same lines. However, I'd probably want to talk to you about equipment to improve the direction I see. I see you with a fast lens on a medium format camera. The beauty I see you capturing deserves the feel you get from shallow depth of field and beautiful tonality of medium format film shot at f2.8. Then scan the film - way cheaper than digital.

Many people probably think of his work as fashion, but in my book he's a fine art photographer. His lighting, composition, and exposure are flawless, but his images consistently carry an aesthetic energy that moves my spirit. M. P. Hunt - https://modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=2765. I'd begun photographing nudes before I ever saw his work, but the instant I saw it I knew what I was striving to achieve. His work transcends the human form and present the model as an embodiment of beauty and grace. Dec 23 06 12:51 am Link Tim Hammond wrote: Yup, Eric's da man. And he's as sweet as he is talented.
