Leonard,

Great choices as I've had the pleasure of meeting some of the ones you chose.

Sean Armenta is talented and a great person to have around.  He's down to earth and I had the great pleasure of meeting him.

Bruce Talbot is also another talented one.  I haven't met him yet but I've emailed him a few times and his images are beautiful.

Jerry Avenaim, I've met him several times.  This guy is very down to earth and treats his friends with kindness from the heart.  He is not only multi-talented, he's a great friend of mine that I'm very proud to say that he's awesome and a great friend to have around.

Bill Ellis I haven't met or conversed with at all.  He has great work though.

There's so many talented photographers on MM.

Thanks for the compliments, lets see what the outcome will be on the favorites.  You'll get a variety that's for sure.

Time for another one of these threads where photographers and models get to stroke photographer's egos.  Kewl, at least we aren't bashing anyone.

I'm 53 and bald, so I am not too hot.  Particularly since I have been staying in San Francisco  recently.  What did Mark Twain say?  Oh yeah: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."  Definitely, not hot!

not mentioned yet... Just for a little variety these are a couple of my favorites to work with

Marc Mez #102782 so much fun to work with, and a very unique raw style. I wish you guys could see his wall of polaroids at his house they are awesome

Rinze @ Fragile Magazine #45984 he is soooo wonderful, his work is very beautiful- but he needs 20 pages on this site to show it all! (check out Issue #6 in the archive for me!) :p

Sam Norval #7750 check his actual website for his fashion stuff, I have 4 shots of his printed in my book and EVERYONE in Korea loves them

fotorat #7367 I love you Roberto and you are so freaking talented!

oh and my new avatar is by Anthony Wallace #45648 and I love it smile

How do you define hottest? Its all very subjective.Jerry Avenaim for example is a major celebrity shooter # 6492 but then again so am I. He shoots much more editorial while I prefer candid celebrity portraiture. We are both listed in the library of photography.I believe his rates and name recognition is higher than mine,but I have shot far more major celebrity clients while being located in a smaller market,Chicago that he left.He glams up his celebrity clientel while I prefer to strip mine down,beyond the glitter...Even if photographers are based on the caliber of their famous clients which they often are,being hot is as subjective as their individual style and their noted specialization. You can view my noted celebrity work linked from my MM profile.
