Really good photographers
« on: March 24, 2009, 09:57:17 PM »
I'm working on an art project for school and I've got photographer's block. Can you guys post your favourite photographers/pictures here so that I can look at them and get inspired or continue to feel inadequate? I'm working on portraits but I'd love to see anything good.

You can never go wrong with Mick Rock, I think. Sorry for being obvious.

Maybe this is a cop-out answer, but Penguin has used some arresting photos in their book design: http://www.erasing.org/category/penguinmodernclassics/

Thanks for jogging my memory, Pete. I had just mentioned one of Andreas Gursky's photo to my colleague the other day and couldn't remember his name for the life of me.
