It just goes to show that you don't need the latest and greatest camera and software to take great photographs.
Well stated, Chris.

Wow! Just brilliant. The first big shock is that I took the same photo of the Forum that he uses as his opening image on his website and yet it could be a different place entirely. I have a lot to learn. |

Helen pointed me in the direction of this thread and I'd like to mention my favourite photographers. I have many but I'll start with my number one...Willy Ronis. I imagine many already know him as he is quite famous and was in the circle with Cartier-Bresson etc. He mixed staged shots, sometimes for advertising or magazine commissions, with street, posed nude and portrait. He delivers wonderful romanticism and avoids the comical and quirky coincidence side of street photography that many seem to focus on, instead finding inspiration in everyday scenes. My first experience was at an exhibition of his work in Kyoto. I instantly fell in love and my favourite is "Prisoner's Return" - the image on the website does not do it justice. Many websites but as a starting point Willy Ronis...Artnet

Thanks for sharing, Howard. I always like when this thread pops up again and introduces me to a photographer whom I'm not familiar with....which is most of them. I particularly like the historical settings and somewhat sepia tones of his images. Having grown up in a factory town, Lens 51, was of particular interest to me.

An article this week on Saul Leiter, one of my favourite photographers. Saul LeiterI recommend the book "Early Colour". While so many people these days seem obsessed with "pin sharp" (me included to be fair), his work demonstrates how it's the subject, the framing, the moment, the story that matter. To me, his photos are like remembering something, not a 100% clear image in your mind but the essence and the feeling are captured and tell the story. |

I always think of black and white when it comes to street photography. I found this photographer on Instagram. I hope the link works for members who are not on Instagram. Fred Herzog was a Canadian street photographer and among the first to capture the everyday things that often go unnoticed in color. |

I have Modern Color on my bookshelf and find myself going back to it often. |

Alan Schaller is another black and white street photographer whose work I like. Check the links on the right to see more of his work.

Bruce Percy is a Scottish landscape photographer. He has a most interesting blog where he talks about going back to the same place and learning to refine your vision. It includes a brief video depicting how his own work has evolved from 2009 - 2023. It features work from Bolivia, a place that he has been fortunate to be able to return to often, and illustrates how he approaches it differently on subsequent trips. He recommends going back to a place that "speaks" to you and continue to photograph it. I found his blog to be well written, interesting to read, with numerous images to illustrate his point. Check it out....I don't think you will be disappointed.

I was recently introduced to the work of Tine Poppe. The work is divided into Projects. Some I particularly liked; while others I found disturbing. |

Sharing the work of Emil Gataullin I enjoyed seeing the work, in both B/W and color, of Russian photographer Emil Gataullin. Included is photography documenting life in the small, seemingly forgotten villages, that deeply contrast with life in Russia’s major cities. |

In 1993, I was fortunate to work on Mongolia (the country) just south of the Russian border. I also made 11 working trips into Inner Mongolia and northern China from 1998 to 2006. Eye opening. The hardships, particularly in winter, are unimaginable in these places and those shown by Emil. Thanks. Clive |

I've only had a brief skim of his portfolio and it's brilliant. The cover shot for Black Sea in Winter is awesome. |
