Your favorite photographers and genres?

[seabee1999]

I would have to say that my favorite photographers tend to stay within the landscape/nature genre. I enjoy seeing the images made by Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Brett Weston, Willard Van Dyke, Galen Rowel, John Sexton and Michael Kenna. A few others like Penn, Mann and Burtynksy I have begun to appreciate more as time moves on.

I find it's the individual piece that I like rather than the person who snapped it. So it's also not limited to genre. If a picture works, it works. Kind of like music. If you like the tune, it doesn't matter who's singing or playing it or whether it's rock, country, jazz, or classical.

I like A. Aubrey Bodine and Fan Ho. While not often mentioned they did amazing work.

Herbert List, he made in the 1930ies surrealism, influenced and teached by Andreas Feininger, then in the 1950ies some stories in the Swiss magazine "Du", about people in Caribia and Naples. He is clearly one of the best. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Herbert+Li...ages&ia=images Especially: https://pro.magnumphotos.com/image/PAR302473.html this is not only fine art as a fine print but real art as an artwork.

Pierre Verger, went to Brazil, made a book about people in Bahia: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Pierre+Ver...ages&ia=images

I am surprised that almost no one mentioned Brett Weston. He was a singular voice and I enjoy his work very much. I tend to agree that much conceptual stuff is the "Emperor has no clothes!". The art world is much about fashion or as Bruce Barnbaum called it, "The Detroit School of Photography". Novelty trumps vision and craft in our current art world.

I love Brett Weston's work , but the three I listed just barely edge him out.
