I'm mad about your photographs.

I like their photos.

You are awesome. Love you.

Ansel Adams Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 - April 22, 1984) was an American landscape photographer and environmentalist known for his black-and-white images of the American West... read more

His photographs have great meaning and value. So much more inspiring than just pictures of girls in clothes!

He puts a lot of thought into his work, and that should be highly appreciated. He is by far my favorite!

Who needs color when you have Ansel Adams? His black and white photographs are the most evocative landscapes ever done. Stark and revealing.

Hello sir...

I am crazy about your work. Great work!

David LaChapelle
David Bailey

Easily the best in my view. He has a fabulous range and variety. The pictures don't appear 'contrived' as in some works.

The man was a groundbreaker when it came to fashion photography, and his name is the most famous among all British photographers. Apart from all that, he must have something special about him to have attracted all those beautiful women!

I was fascinated with his pictures. His work shows a different type of variety, not just focusing on one idea. He has everything you are looking for!

His photos will be my inspiration.

Lynn Goldsmith
Annie Leibovitz

She was simply great!

Her style of photography inspired me a lot. Her spirit gave me the interest to take photos. Thanks for being an inspiration to all of us. I would love to work with you as a learner.

Best portrait photographs! Vanity Fair is Annie.

The best photographer with a pictorialist style.

Mick Rock
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Robert Frank
Rankin

Creative and inspiring. As time moves on, his photos become even more of an inspiration to me as an amateur photographer aspiring to become a professional in this world.

Philippe Halsman

The first of his photography I saw was of Dali. After that, when I checked out the name of the photographer, it was Philippe Halsman.

After seeing all of his work, I have selected him as the best portrait photographer.

Helmut Newton Helmut Newton was a German-Australian photographer. The New York Times described him as a "prolific, widely imitated fashion photographer whose provocative, erotically charged black-and-white photos were a mainstay of Vogue and other publications."
Kristian Bertel
Robert Mapplethorpe

As a professional photographer, Mapplethorpe is the master of critical insight and self-reflection through the lens.

Herb Ritts Herbert "Herb" Ritts Jr. (August 13, 1952 – December 26, 2002) was an American fashion photographer and director prolific for his photographs of celebrities, models, and other cultural figures throughout the 1980s and 1990s. His work concentrated on black-and-white photography and portraits, often... read more
Irving Penn

Anyone who has actually been trained in the art of photography knows that Irving Penn is the man. Irving Penn understood how to take simple ideas and transcend those ideas so that the viewer could also make them their own.

Too many photographers these days are gimmicky. Not Irving Penn. He used line, form, and composition to make compelling images that remain timeless to this very day.

Bob Gruen
James Nachtwey

He is one of the greatest war photographers ever. His masterpieces lead me into the tragic reality of wars.

Marcus Keef
Francesco Scavullo
Peter Lik

His work is wonderful! Some of the best I have seen.

Linda McCartney
Diane Arbus
Mary Ellen Mark
