If you could apprentice/intern with any photographer...

[augphoto]

<p>Two totally different styles but, either Leonard L. Rue or Jim Brandenburg. Heaven either way.</p>

<p>Elliot Erwit, Sebastiao Salgado, Steve McCurry, James Nachtwey are all covering my interest of photography in a magnificent way albeit I can't see myself as an apprentice to any of them. I am older than some of them, have done photography for more than 40 years and am still learning. But inspiration is one thing, practice, practice, practice is the other as well as subjectively have an eye for what you find good and interesting in the hope that others share the same feelings or vice versa. No one becomes a world champion in photography and frankly; I find that even the " big " names get away with mediocre photographs at times.</p><div></div>

<p>George DeWolfe, I took a workshop with him at The Maine Media College. He was a very generous with his time and knowledge. The b&w prints he produced were perfect. To apprentice with a Masterprinter would be an answer from the God's of Photography for me!</p>

<p>Harry Gruyaert or Alex Webb</p>

[nicole_armand]

<p>1] Nigel Barker for fashion; he is really creative and I could then be on ANTM 2] Bryan Peterson for landscapes, closeups, industrial and all else. He knows how to use shades of color to really make a photo strong and bold, plus his ability to "see" something out of nothing is short of amazing. </p>

<p>Annie Leibovitz but, if she's busy, I'd gladly carry the tripod for Dyonis Moser or Marc Adamus, not only to learn their skills but also to see the amazing places they shoot.</p>

[tj_dower]

<p>Carol Guzy, for composition and her ability to convey the emotions of her subjects and the scene. She allowed me to do a short phone interview with her for a community college photo course in the mid 90's during which I asked her how she copes with what she sees. She then told me she did work with animal shelters when she can. I hope she is still finding balance in work and community service.</strong></p>

<p>Elsa Dorfman. She does portraits with the Polaroid 20x24 camera... I'd love to work with such an amazing format. I love her work because it's so simple and you can see right into people's personalities and family dynamics in her photos. She also seems like a really fun person.</p>

<p>Wall for one.</p>

[tony_hutchinson]

<p>Don McCullin - possibly the greatest living photographer of human suffering. He documents without sentiment or hyperbole and our ability to inflict suffering on each other and on our planet with a lucid, unflinching eye at personal risk. He makes my cry!</p>

<p>Tony Hutchinson</p>

[franck_webb]

<p><strong>John Peri</strong> , will definitely be my choice, his ability to capture this much abundance of art work as I describe his photographs always seem to leave me astonished, from the theme to the models themselves. <br>

There is not anything pornographic with his work I can truly and simply experience beautiful art with his photos.</p>

[photo_galleries]

<p>Sebastiao Salgado.</p>

[dave_brooks2]

<p>David Clapp,<br>

When I look into his landscapes I am there, looking in awe :)</p>

[kendrawise]

<p>One of the great regrets of my life was that Richard Avedon died before I was famous enough to have him take a picture of me. The second was that he died before I got to apprentice with him. </p>

<p>In backup, Annie Lieb. or Elsa Dorfman. I think Elsa would probably be more fun, and I love that she photographs the little people like me. </p>

[cameravoyages]

<p>So many choices in so many areas!<br>

However, my passion lies in macro nature photography and it would be great to be a field assistant for <a href="http://www.doctorbugs.com/Dr._Bugs_Web.html">Mark Moffet</a> .</p>

<p>Oh come on, Ken Rockwell obviously</p>
