Thank you for pointing out this fine photographer! Really something special! I had never heard of him and I'm glad that omission in my education is now corrected.

Marco -- well done!! Maybe someone can convert this to a sticky so it doesn't get lost -- it's a list worth returning to.

 

cheers

Although most of my great inspirations are already named (Kertesz, Brassai, Koudelka, Eugene Smith, Sieff, Ronis, Doisneau, Nachtwey) I would like to add some:

 

Werner Bisschoff (died at young age, Magnum member).

 

Reza Deghati, Iranian photographer, living in Paris and working under the name of Reza.

 

And a lesser known photographer: Kees Scherer, Dutch photographer.

KEES SCHERER

 

A contemporary photographer I like very much is the Belgian Stephan Vanfleteren. He works in B/W.:

amazing work....

[frko]

Did I miss anyone mentioning

Edward Steichen,

Steve McCurry,

Cecil Beaton,

Karsch or

Annie Leibovitz?

 

Doesn't he shoot color?

[Sandokan]

Doh! I should have read the title!

 

I guess Annie is out too. the others are only in because they had no choice in shooting B&W.

 

How many of the people in this list shooting B&W would have shot in colour if the choice had been there for them?

[JSU]

W. Eugene Smith

Timothy O'Sullivan

[azzo]

Manul Alvarez Bravo, Karsh, Andre Kertesz, Elliott Erwitt & HCB of course ! ..

 

.. but there are plenty more.

[boilerdoc]

Paul Strand, Paul Caponigro.

[elansprint72]

Because kenneth is on my ignore list I can't actually read what his question was, however I get the general drift, and my answer is O. Winston Link.
