i like:

brett walker

his portraits are amazing.

conorw
www.flickr.com/photos/conorwilliams/
he's so young but his work is great.

none of my true favs are on flickr

ditto.

most of my favs are dead now.

i know what you mean. but what i mean, if you have no favorites here, are photographers on flickr whose work you reaaallllly like. alive, preferably. =P

They are alot of amazing people on Flickr.

They are of course, many amazing people outside too.

All of my contacts have photos that somehow inspire me to improve day by day.

None of my real favs are on here. Although, there is David Hobby. But he isn't exactly one of my favorte photogs. But he is the strobist, so he is more like a god.


Out of the photogs here, I have to say I do like Stuck in Customs. I usually don't like HDR stuff, but his work is really cool. He really nails com,position

Stuck In Customs is pretty damned good, but I think non-HDR would be cool sometimes. The night cityscapes he comes up with (Bangkok at night etc.) are very good.

Outside of Flickr there is a guy called Edward Burtinsky. A large (A2 size maybe?) print of "Old Factories #5" (Work -> China -> Old Industry -> 5th on the right) is in the V&A Photography section and the detail is amazing. Absolutely amazing, you could sit there for hours and see new things.

My personal favorite photographer on flickr is no traces flickr.com/photos/notraces/

ive never really looked into my fave photographers on flickr but im doing an art project on photography and done a lot of research. ive found 2 to be pretty amazing, these are Ansel Adams and Tony Howell

My favorite photographer is not on flickr, and he recently died in 2006. Arnold Newman

Ryan McGinley is amazing.

I'm really truly in love with Matty Franklin.

gauge young
matty franklin

Yeah, Gage Young too.
He can make any picture look amazing.

does anyone know of a "famous" photographer that has done a series of photographs on sleep?

The VII group, but more specifically, Ron Haviv and James Nachtwey, I guess. Their work seems to be unparalleled. We need more photojournalists like them...

My favorite photographer by far has to be Velco Dojcinovski
He's one of the best street photographers I ever seen.

Jlipari, Sophie Calle did a project called the sleepers that you might want to look into . She got random people to sleep in her bed & photographed them.

I'm mad biased... Most of my favorite photographers are people I know, but here are some you can check out...
Nick Rellas
Peter Tarnoff (sick rock show stuff from way back when)

Ryan McGinley, Andre Kertesz, Ansel Adams, Robert Frank, Nadar

and Erik Almas

too many to list

I love JaredPallesen's work!

If i had to have the photostream of anyone, it'd be this dude ( www.flickr.com/photos/ian-alexander/ ), but I'm pleased enough plodding along with mine. Noone's favourite, but good enough for me :)

I like loads of people's stuff- Sunday Chores (hello) has some really cool stuff, and yeah notraces has good stuff too.

And a load of motorsport types, who've really inspired me.
There's this amazing picture of Ayrton Senna in a Lotus up above me on the wall, and it's my favourite image ever.
