Tell me one name of a famous photographer

[chobits]

I take photography class at HCC, and I have to write an essay.
Can you tell me a name?
A famous and dead photographer is fine too.


thanks

Ansel Adams.

Diane Arbus is probably more fun to do an essay on. Didn't they just make a movie about her?

Who's your teacher at HCC? I used to take classes there, photo classes.

It will probably help you to think about what sort of essay you are writing, and whether you are focusing on their work, or their life, or both. Some photographers are indelibly linked with a particular ouvre or event or cause, others bounce all over. This will effect the sort of essay material you have.....

Here are a few that I picked because there has been quite a bit written about them and because examples of their work can generally be found on the web.

Richard Avedon
Harry Callahan
Henri Cartier Bresson
Annie Leibovitz
Sally Mann
Robert Mapplethorpe (if you want controversy!)
Man Ray
Elliot Porter
Edward Weston (can't believe that he hasn't already been mentioned)
