mr._picholas Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I'm a student and working on a Design project which will consist of 5 different black and white photographers of nature. I'm looking for some of the best out there, well known and unknown. Only ones that come to mind right now...Ansel Adams, Some of Edward Weston's work. Any more? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.th Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 personally i like the seventies guys; robert adams, lewis baltz, to name two of them. and since you mentioned edward weston, you're probably familiar with brett weston. you might find it interesting to compare the work of father and son.... <br><br>good luck with your project!

rick_brisbois Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I like John Sexton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_brisbois Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Though I have to say that Sexton is a B/W photographer who shoots many things, among them nature forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey moore Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 With all due respect, Lewis Baltz is one of the most over-rated hacks among contemporary, so-called "master" photographers. Of course, this is just my own opinion, one with which I am sure many will agree and disagree. And to the original question, could he really be considered a "photographer of nature."

jeffrey moore Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Oh, I forgot to mention some I do like. Among contmeporary photographers: Bruce Barnbaum; Michael Kenna; Carl Weese; Mario Abbatepaolo. And right here on Photo.net: Jean-Philippe Poli; Leping Zha; G鲡rd Laurenceau.

jeffrey moore Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 That last one would be Gerard Laurenceau. (Sorry, that copy-and-paste thing didn't work the first time.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_potts1 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Of the folks working right now, Clyde Butcher seems to get the most press. When I think of Weston, I think of vegetables and nudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.th Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 jeffrey: i'm not getting into an argument on whether or not baltz is an overrated hack.<br>however, after taking a quick look at some of your suggestions i'll vote for weese and kenna too, thanks for the tip;-)<br><br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_daalder Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Mr. Picholas, I'm rather impressed with the works of <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=207460"> John McLaine.</a> <br>However, I'm biased of course. He's probably among the best that Tasmania has on offer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_henderson Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 You've already got Michael Kenna and John Sexton. Try also Rolfe Horn (www.f45.com) Michael Kahns coastal photographs (www.michaelkahn.com) and Bill Schwab (www.billschwab.com). You might also look at the work of David J Osborn on www.BritishPanoramics.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_willecke Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I am deeply stricked by the moody images of Eddie Ephraums above all others currently--grainy, moody stuff that is very different from Ansel Adams (whom is also fantastic), a nice contrast. Enjoy. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel_smith6 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Don't pass up the chance to see the landscape work of Morley Baer. Excellent 8x10 shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr._picholas Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 Where can I find some books on these photographers? I've seen a few on Amazon but, pretty pricey. I need to be able to get some photographs with good resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_hancock Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Here are some good ones: Paul Caponigro, John Sexton, Brett Weston, Huntington Witherill, Eliot Porter (yup, Eliot Porter), Roman Loranc, Chip Hooper, Ryuijie, Alan Ross, Brad Cole, Sally Gall, Michael Kenna, Chris Rainier, Michael A. Smith, Clyde Butcher, Henry Gilpin, John Wimberley, David Fokos, to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan_gauthier Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions on how Sally Gall gets the look she gets in her B/W prints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
