Had an idea for a thread.
Post up a photographer whos work you like along with a link to their site/work.
RULES
-Keep it limited to one photographer per post, make this refined, not just a dumping ground.
-No links to photography groups if you can help it. Try to keep it limited to just the one photographer, not just a link to like magnum or something.
-Give a little info about them, what you like, how you found them, or something.
So I will put one down.

It got him Reuters' Picture of the Year for 2009.
Some amazing pictures in here.
I just came across the work of Walters Schels and Beata Lakotta, including these photos of hospice patients before and after death. I'm not into the whole "Faces of Death" thing, but these photographs are provocative.

Photog- Ben Ali Ong
Found thru- Good question...I find weird things.
Genre- Experimental/B&W
His work is definitely more on the conceptual side, with a lot of unorthodox techniques like using multiple negatives, fogging the scanner, scratching, etc. I can definitely see my work pushing more in this direction.

This guy is way too cool. Big names, epic shots.
Photog- Chris Anthony
Found thru- Juxtapoz
Genre- Conceptual/experimental
Website- http://chrisanthony.viewbook.com/
Chris Anthony works with 5x7 and 8x10 cameras with lenses from the beginning of the century (you know, the 20th). Most of his projects have a really interesting story line to them, sometimes taking place in the present, sometimes in the past and future. Most of his images have kind of a dreamy feel to them, and he uses tilt/shift movements a lot--real ones, not the shitty PS simulations. Anyways..

He makes me almost like photography as much as painting.
Come on Lads. It's not as if the rules are buried amongst a mountain of drivel. Try a link and maybe just one pic that gets us interested?Quote:

This guy's stuff trips me out because I can't in a million years ever imagine coming up with some of the ideas/titles he comes up with for his shoots. Some of it is going to be NSFW for a lot of you.

Alex Webb has been a favorite photographer of mine for awhile now. He is a classic street photographer, but his images stand apart because of their layers and complexity.
I like his work because it contains no mistakes. He is in complete control of his camera - every element in the frame has a purpose, there are no accidents or coincidences in his images.

Damn, I have to agree. At first this looks so conventional, and then everyone in the picture develops a narrative, they all look so purposeful; the guy about to walk behind the building is a perfect example. Great stuff, thanks.Quote:

Inspiring dude, nice person and a goddam amazing photographer.
Not sure if the photog is "good" but I really think some of this is fun:
