Edward Weston
MU Library TR10w45e48
A legacy he built around the awesomeness he is. said to be one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century, he spans all sorts of genres over his lustrous career giving himself the image of THE american photographer of the modern world. I guess if i were to describe his work, i would say it is exactly what you'd expect out of someone with as much reputation. He made a simple picture of a pelicans wing look like something from outer space, his work is unique to him and thus really hard to mimic. still his images have a feeling that is ecen harder to mimic, this is exactly why i hate when people say some crap like, "its easy to be a photographer" becuase it realy isnt, as scene with edward westons work, truly amazing stuff

Joel Sterneld
Mu Library TR 647S81994
Joel Sternfield, responsible for making a good name for the color photographers, using color as his weapon he was able to concrete the color medium as a format for photography.
Once Joel learned the color process, he was able to produce images as stunning as Ansel Adams, but in color.
I absolutely love the format he uses, i imagine that everything i saw as a child was photographed with this style, and thus i feel reminiscent of these pictures, enjoy

Ansel Adams
Mu Library TR 654A341977
Ansel Adams (not a girl) was yet another one of those american photographers that contributed to the understanding of the camera today Along with the fact that he is also known for his photos of the west.
To start, Ansel along with Fred archer both developed the Zone system, which is the way you can determine the right exposer time and contrast, which helps allot when you have a non-digital camera that doesn't meter for you. phew thats a mouthful. AND he produced awesome western images.
Unbelievable pictures, amazing exposures, of course coming form the man that produced the system to get correct exposure. He has amazing landscapes, holy molly. the camera he was taking pictures with was like magical because all of his images are amazing, truly a photographers idol.
now to his photos

Adolf Fassbender
Mu Library TR 653P481997
One of the nicest photographers i have ever seen on print. Not only was he an insanly influential person in the US but he produced some of the most beauiful images i have ever scene. Adolf release a book call the Pictorial Artistry which would become one of the only photo books of its kind. Adolf believed in heavly modifed prints, but becuase he saw nothing but good in the world, all of his images are made to be happy and uplifting. I wish to be able to come up with the concepts like he does.

One of the nicest photographers i have ever seen on print. Not only was he an insanly influential person in the US but he produced some of the most beauiful images i have ever scene. Adolf release a book call the Pictorial Artistry which would become one of the only photo books of its kind. Adolf believed in heavly modifed prints, but becuase he saw nothing but good in the world, all of his images are made to be happy and uplifting. I wish to be able to come up with the concepts like he does.

George Benjamin Wittick
MU Library 0 TR 24 >N6C64
Ben was another american born photographer who started life of as not photographer. He was in the civil war and after decided to take pictures of natives, in a nut shell. Anyway he took all these pics and went on to be the first person to photograph the hopi tribe, and as a result died from a snake bite. the bad part of that story is Ben knew he was going to die from a snakebite because he was told it was going to happen.
as far as his photos go, he was able to capture these native tribes in there homeland and bring these images to the rest of us, which would otherwise not know of there existents. good stuff.

Helmut Gernsheim
Mu Library: Oversize TR 15 G369 2003
Helmut Gersheim born in Germany was a pioneer in historical photography. He went to school for photography and was able to escape Germany with his life before the World War to the UK. there he worked as printer using all the skill he acquired in Germany.
Helmut had style without style...i know that sounds funky but if you look at his photos in this book they are all sort of candid, but not. there is meaning behind his work but it isnt as evident as we think. His pictures always seem like they were unexpected, which in turn gave all his picture's a candid feel. This in mind gives all of his media kinda of a focky feel. I might be losing my mind, but i def like his style. here is some of the stuff he has on the net.

This amazing photographer spent a stint of 7 years in India photographing literally everything. He did so well in fact that he and a collegue, started a studio there called Bourne- Shepard which still exist today.

Larry Burrows
Something about wartime photographers really has me interested. I'm not sure if its because they bring us the action of whats happening in the real world or if its because the images truly are beautiful, whatever the reason larry burrows has had his pick of wonderful wartime pictures. so good infact, ill let them speak for themselves

Mathew Brady
The Father of photojournalism, Mr. Brady is by many ways one of the most important american photographers for his time. Known for not only taking celeberty pictures, but also documenting the civil war. This is how he acquired his fame.
http://hilobrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/mathew-brady-photo.jpg
He was able to bring basically a dark room to the war zone, and was able to take some of the first wartime photographs of the civil war.

Skip Bolen
In this world we live in, who in there right mind would not like to be a known photographer. Celebes's, musicians and all sorts of entertainers need to be documented, and Skip is the man for the job. Being the fact that his career is relatively young, he has done quite well for himself. Its easy to see just how large his collection of images has amassed, just go to Google or yahoo and type his name and vuala!, you have allot of his images.
More importantly, he has been documenting the recovery of new Orleans since hurricane Katrina.

Takashi Amano
I was curious about underwater picture taking and realized that i knew nothing about it, not even in the slightest. so i looked up some photographers and ran into someone named Takashi Amano. Takashi sort of hit home because not only is he a photographer, but he also is a designer.
Known for his work in making landscape style/scenic style photographs of underwater scenes, he carefully plans every step of the scene as he photographs it.
he also has made himself all sorts of contraptions to make his underwater photogs interesting and balanced, here he is scene with his huge tank and himself
and another one of his many tanks
of course Takashi is not known for free water photography, however he is able to pull of a "nature" feel without it actualy being a wild enviroment.
i need to try this.

Eadweard Muybridge
In my search for worthy photographers, i approached my searches by category. Which isn't usually how i search about but it yielded some great photographers. In particular, i found a man that, everywhere i looked, was credited for being the father of motion photography. His name is Eadweard Muybridge.
This man lived out his life in the 1800's and was a one of the first, if not the first to take photos to make an object move, or in other words motion photography. He came to to his first motion photo project around 1868 when the then mayor of california made an opinion on whether a horses feet ever left the ground completely. It was a debate at the time and the mayor hired Muybridge to find out if the horse's feet touched the ground. This is when the horse in motion was born. Taken with numerous cameras, he was able to capture the horse in motion
Horse in Motion
Awesome stuff, especially for being done such a long time ago. Now, photographers use a single camera to take motion photography, Most new cameras can now take 10 frames a second, which is exactly what he did all those years ago with multiple cameras. coolness.
heres some more of his work, just incase you don't want to go looking around
