Pls share your favorite famous photog's name
During yesterday's shoot I learned about Jeanloup Sieff and was greatly impressed by his album up to the point that I made a research on his work after coming home. I think it would be great if you share your favorite famous photographers names. Please not name somebody that only you and few other people know, but somebody who already made it out there. I do not mean to offend, just think that if we learn we should use something that is already well established. Thanks. UPDATE: Pasting here the full list with names and links ...

Mine is John Rawlings. From the publisher - John Rawlings: 30 Years in Vogue "John Rawlings (1912-1970) was one of the most prolific photographers of the twentieth century, with more than 200 Vogue and Glamour covers to his credit, as well as an extensive roster of commercial ad campaigns. Rawling's work, perhaps more than that of any other mid-century American fashion photographer, distinguishes itself as a veritable time capsule from the era in which American fashion and American style truly came into their own." http://www.photoeye.com/BookteaseLight/ … 34&image=2 http://www.photoeye.com/BookteaseLight/ … 34&image=3 http://www.photoeye.com/BookteaseLight/ … 34&image=7 http://www.photoeye.com/BookteaseLight/ … 34&image=8 http://www.photoeye.com/BookteaseLight/ … 34&image=9 bt Nov 22 06 01:49 pm Link Click Hamilton, very cool name.

If you liked Jeanloup Sieff, I'd suggest, in a similar but slightly different vein, an often-forgotten French fashion/glamour photographer who passed away not too long ago, Jean-Francois Jonvelle.
