Ansel Adams、SARAHMOON
I admire Ansel Adams, Arthur Fellig (aka Weegee), David Muench, Elliott Erwitt and Pedro Meyer.
Muybridge for his pursuit of perfection and groundbreaking techniques, The Bechers for their dedication to a systematic approach, Rodchenko for his versatility and creative approach

Well, to be serious for a moment, I really don't like the term "masters of photography." I don't think the photographer "masters" the medium. The photographers I admire are those who engage with the medium in a fluid way. My favorite photographer is Clementina Hawarden -- I wrote a book about her, _Clementina, Lady Hawarden: Studies from Life, 1858 - 1864_, published by Aperture and the V&A Museum, 1999. Photographers whose work I've _always_ liked include Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, William Eggleston, Walker Evans, Harry Callahan, Edward Steichen, Paul Strand, Mario Giacomelli, Larry Burrows, Philip Jones Griffiths, Helen Levitt, William Gedney, John Szarkowski ... |
