leslie_cheung Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Another vote for E. Richards in the doc/street realm. Robert Frank would be first though he's not into stills anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spearhead Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I think Richards is a good photographer, but he's hardly an icon. I don't think he's really do much to be in that category. Was he named because he uses a Leica? Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budi_darmawan Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 No Jeff, He uses Olympus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 done much. I have to learn to read before I post. I think Moriyama, Avedon, Goldin, Klein, and a few others hit that category long before Richards.

patricks Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hmm, I don't keep track of photographers really, but I haven't even heard of Eugene Richard. A quick google on his name resultet in less than 4K hits. Someone like James Nachtwey got 18K hits and Bruce Weber got over 30K. Perhaps that is some indications (even if I'm sure I'll get hammered for that methodology...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 <i>No Jeff, He uses Olympus.</i><p> So Olympus is the reason the Leica Gallery in New York City featured him as a Leica photographer? Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie_cheung Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Richards doesn't even use a rf Jeff. I agree, I wouldn't call Eugene an icon since he's not even that well known but his photos kicks especially his wides. He's as good with the 21mm as Henri is good with the 50mm.

Spearhead Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 <i>As you said thousands of time in these forums, it's only a tool.</i><p> Right. But it's odd that he came up. He's hardly an "icon" by the standards of the people who are regarded as icons, people who change the way photography is seen and eventually become seen as representative of photography. Richards has some great photographs but he's far more known to photographers than anyone else and hardly has the iconic status of the people I named above, let alone HCB.
