Winston O Link is probably one of the most famous least famous (if that makes sense) photographers there is. The way he captured industrial america is submlime. Look up vernacular in the dictionary and he's there. He is Henry Ford with a camera.

Gaz just had a knack but Link was an artist.

Ha ha.

I guess that most people here are familiar with Parr's stuff, but if you're not, I don't think that portfolio's a great intro - it focuses quite a bit on his more recent stuff. I mean, picture 4???

This link is to a set of photos taken in a mental asylum in Paraguy. If you expect to have any mental problems I recommend you have them in the UK. The conditions in Paraguy are not good.

I'm another Magnum fan, particularly Elliott Erwitt and Henri Cartier Bresson.
I also love the highly stylised portraits of Dorothy Wilding, Madame Yevonde and Cecil Beaton. Beautiful.

There was a female photographer who did a series on prostitutes in India, on a very notorious road. She came to my attention when someone I knew (from the net) also took photographs there. She had gotten into their confidence and took some very intimate photos which was a lot more than he was able.

Anyone know who this is?

I know Robert Capa is famous for his war photography and took some very interesting photos on Omaha Beach. However this beach photo I would rate as being his best photo.

I like Robert Capa because he was really a crap photographer who had no idea and even screwed up on some of his early work. Like many photographers on Urban75 he was either in the right place at the right time or just lucky as in this photo of Picasso.


Dimitri Baltermants Grief in the Crimerea is a stunning photo of futility of war

W.Eugene Smith Tomoko in her Bath shows the evil of pollution
