It is rather a dull job, but I'll update the "list" again, so everyone can download the total overview. And no, I'm NOT going to enter everybody's favorites :D

 

Grumble grumble playing secretary for the whole forum grumble grumble. :p

 

And don't forget Kenneth was the originator of this great idea!

So here we go again: an updated list. PLEASE READ THIS: do not add photographers that are already mentioned. This is NOT a poll, but a listing of (acknowledged) B&W photographers. Oh, and do me a favor: add names per line, it's a hassle untangling all that extra info and adding it into excel.

 

You can download the list here, or see it here:

Still missing Larry Clark. Otherwise, the list looks pretty exhaustive for published B&W photographers. Thanks for keeping it going, Marco.

 

Nope, he's there. Or at least, now he is :D

Whilst you are it, Marco, you might consider adding:

 

Notable omissions:

Nobuyoshi Araki

Nadav Kander (discussed earlier in the thread)

 

Two well known VII shooters:

Marcus Bleasdale

Antonin Kratochvil

 

Maybe less well known but decent:

Markéta Luskačová

I bought two books with B&W photos recently which I both like quite a bit (and which both incidentally were shot with "toy" cameras). One is Tangente by Laurent Chardon and the other one is Elsewhere by Øyvind Hjelmen. I think both photographers weren't mentioned in this thread yet.

 

Also, I think I already mentioned him (see my signature), but didn't spot him in the long list: Klavdij Sluban. Highly recommended.

Someone who I think may not have been mentioned: JOhn Dominis. See his book SINATRA: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT OF A VERY GOOD YEAR for stunning B&W photographs that combine unfaltering technical expertise, brilliant timing and great intimacy. Maybe you need to like Sinatra (or at least the mid-60s period covered) but to me the book was a revelation.

There is a very good photo essay (all in B&W) by Saiful Huq Omi on the Bangladeshi ship-breaking industry, which appears in the Spring 2011 volume of Intelligent Life (a spin-off publication from The Economist). Highly recommended.
