I had done too. ... Many many months ago. :)

 

You're telling me I FORGOT or MISLAID your input :eek: My humblest apologies, one and only living top B&W photographer :D

 

Damn, I really MUST get a secretary to do this work; first priority: get one. :D

Alberto Korda

 

I purchased a copy of his book A Revolutionary Lens which is great for placing iconic images like his portrait of Che Guevara 'Guerillero Heroico' in context by printing the whole contact sheet. It also shows how he used cropping to powerful effect.

hey, that's why I like this thread: names keep popping up that are "new".

Although I like Newton, I don't think he was known for his B&W work, was he?

 

I'd say Newton was more of a B&W photographer than some of the other photographers listed (Ernst Haas, Martin Parr, Loretta Lux to name a few). Most (if not all) of his best and most well known work is in B&W. In any case, isn't Newton already on the list?

just ploughed my way through this interesting thread and eventually found the link to the spreadsheet - great job! Obviously oodles of names, quite a few of which are new to me so lots of investigating to do.

 

A name conspicuous by it's absence is that of Paul Gallagher - his b&w landscapes are truly inspirational (as his his book "Aspects of Expression").
