Ed made a few good color images of sea shells.

Candida Hofer, Simone Nieweg and Hans Christian-Schink are who first come to mind - sorry for so many Germans so here's a Brit:

Clever and understated, I particularly like his 'ball' series of photographs.

Ed made a few good color images of sea shells.

If we add colour to B&W the your old pal Thomas Joshua Cooper, many shades of black, grey and redish tones.

More seroiously Bob Carlos Clarke who's book Dark Summer is full of woderful hand coloured/toned images (he used chromogenic colour couplers & colour redevelopment as well).

Elger Esser was the other guy I was thinking of in case you were on pins and needles
Really like him equally for his black and white but his color is yesteryear surreal sublime both uplifting and haunting at the same time

Thanks for the heads up on that guy - I really enjoyed the images I found when I Googled him.

I'm a big fan of Kip Praslowicz.

[Bruce Watson]

Could you post a link to something of his that shows his mastery?

For you Paul, probably not.

But one I've held in my hands is Apples, Great Spruce Head Island, Maine, 1942. It's plate 30 in the book Eliot Porter. It may be the most gorgeous color print I've ever held.

If you want someone who understands color and knows what to do with it, Porter is second to none.

If we're talking LF and colour Richard Mosse is worth looking at.
