Sadly, I just found out that Ndakasi passed away after winning a monumental/landmark copyright case. ... she was probably one of the most important image makers of the last 25 years.

Elliott Erwitt and Lee Friedlander, though alive but I don't think they're taking many photos now.

Robert Adams, of course.

Josef Koudelka

William Eggleston

Thomas Struth

Stephen Vanfleteren

Rineke Dijkstra

Andreas Gursky

Bonus: Sally Mann

Wow, it took seventeen posts before someone named Robert Adams! Thanks for mentioning, Pieter.
