This thread has been created from a private group conversation that was getting unwieldy - you are invited to share the work of photographers you admire or even single images that have had an impact on you. Anything you like - I'll kick things off -
A late picture - you can tell, it's in colour - by Helmut Newton - German/Australian fashion photographer. I think his work is desperately unfashionable these days but I have always admired his pictures. Some regard them as the worst sort of 70's and 80's misogyny but I couldn't disagree more. His models are always the ones in charge in his images. His wife Alice - was his art director throughout his career. Yes - his work is glamorous and - at times erotic - but as the lead photographer for French Vogue, what else would you expect? This is one of my favourite pictures by him. It's gorgeous in every respect. - I.
