rob139 Posted April 15, 2011 Share #221 Posted April 15, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can I add Inta Ruka, contemporary photographer from Riga, Latvia. Gerard Fieret, famous Dutch photog from the sixties and seventies, with a very interesting life and personality. Thanks, Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Hi rob139, Take a look here Inspirational Photographers- B&W. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
MarkP Posted May 22, 2011 Share #222 Posted May 22, 2011 I never cease to be awestruck when looking through my Salgado and Adams Books. Has anyone mentioned Bernd and Hilda Becher's B&W series: Water Towers, Blast Furnaces, and Cooling Towers?

Falstaff Posted May 23, 2011 Share #223 Posted May 23, 2011 Just came across this thread. Extensive as the list is, I notice that none feature from this forum, some of whom are fine photographers. Perhaps I can start the ball rolling by suggesting Rolo. Flickr: Rolo .'s Photostream Falstaff 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted May 24, 2011 Share #224 Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Thank you Falstaff for adding my name to the list of 'dead' photographers. I agree with your point that there are many here who I've found to be inspiring. Photographers that inspire me to go out shoot more, to learn more. If I could only add one name, it would be Ivan Azzopardi, the jewel of Malta. Whilst Steve McCurry and Lauren Gilpin, etc, might have produced interesting work and great collections and books, they have not had me hanging on waiting for their next image to be posted, as Ivan has. Truly inspirational, IMO. Gary Rowlands Edited May 24, 2011 by Rolo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted May 24, 2011 Share #225 Posted May 24, 2011 Now this is an interesting turn of events, adding what we feel are the top level B&W photographers of our forum. Let's state one rule: the majority of the (in our forum) published work should be B&W. I'm adding a vote for Ivan's work as well; I've been pushing him for a book. And yes, I'll update the list shortly. I'll make a sideline for forum members, if only to prevent that people like Ivan (who I know as being down to earth) start feeling awkward next to HCB, Dalgado and other dead photographers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted May 24, 2011 Share #226 Posted May 24, 2011 Rolo, I'm speechless and honoured. You too have been a great inspiration and I rank you along with the very best. A Great eye! If I may nominate two, one from the International and one from the German Forum, they would be Jeff Plomley and Jan (telwatt). Love their work. Thank you Rolo and Marco. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prunelle Posted May 29, 2011 Share #228 Posted May 29, 2011 I just explored the Masters of Photography site and I saw inspirational things indeed. Names are missing over there: Capa and Cartier-Bresson, for example but I also made discoveries. I retained these as "inspirational" to me: Ansel Adams, Margaret Bourke-White, Julia Margaret Cameron, Roy DeCarava, Roger Fenton, Lewis Hine, Andre Kertesz, William Klein, Josef Koudelka, Dorothea Lange, Helen Levitt, Lisette Model, Nadar, Gordon Parks, Jacob Riis, Sebastiao Salgado, W. Eugene Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted May 29, 2011 Share #229 Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Anne, Go a little more down the post (THIS thread) and you'll find a downloadable list ... I'll be buggered if I forgot to put HCB on it, him being the master of B&W photography. Have a look and if I forgot his name, I'll send you some lovely Dutch waffles. I'd have to check on all other names to see if we got them 100% ... Roy DeCavara ... hmmm, ... will have a look.

Marquinius Posted May 29, 2011 Share #231 Posted May 29, 2011 Ah, no, we're obviously talking about two things. I'm looking at this specific thread (inspirational B&W photographers) and I'm sure that HCB is mentioned in the list we brought together. So there's another list (or website) that you are referring to. Do you have an URL for that site? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobYIL Posted May 30, 2011 Share #233 Posted May 30, 2011 Certainly living and very promising.. One of the few unknown stars on the flickr.com, for me comparable to some "new" Magnum photographers.

Marquinius Posted May 31, 2011 Share #237 Posted May 31, 2011 Kertesz Andre, Robert Doisneau, Ernst Haas and my number one is Sebastiao Salgado. They're all great ... so thanks for the input. But Doisneau and Salgodao were already on the list (it's not a voting "who's your fav list" ). Good contribution! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
