I was having a discussion with a friend the other day and recently polled some well-known figures in the photography community this question. Whether it's fashion, fine art, documentary...you name it. Who do you feel are the top 10 living contemporary photographers around today?
Ha - how long is a piece of string...
Not in order:
Lee Friedlander,
Thomas Struth,
Andreas Gursky,
Martin Parr,
Sugimoto,
Joel Sternfeld,
Don McCullin,
Sally Mann,
Gabriele Basilico,
John Gossage,
(+ Lewis Baltz and Masao Yamamoto)...
You'd be amazed how small the demand is for pictures of trees... - Fred Astaire to Audrey Hepburn
