Mine is Lange!

Ansel Adams, who experimented with it, always trying something new, he was an expert in the darkroom, and brought it all to a new level of excellence.

Ansel Adams and Frans Lanting

Definitely Ansel Adams and also Linda McCartney.

I've never seen Linda McCartney... Blue Fier is pretty good.

She's mostly done photos of rock stars, of course including her husband Paul. You should check her out!

oh, ok. I'm not into rockstars much..

Hehe that's ok:) I like all kinds of photographers, at least by their photographs, but I unfortunately don't know their names.

I like macro and wildlife, mostly.

*dead group*

I wish I had something else to say... I like celebrity photographers as well. Also, the book Life: A Century In Pictures by Life Magazine is wonderful.

My favorite photographer would be Manuel Bravo. His work is wonderful.

Art Wolfe
