Martin Parr

I had the privealage of listening to Martin Parr speak at the SPE conference, and he was a riot. Someone who doesn't take himself too seriously, and I really captures some fascinating images. He also manages to have a very large collection of humorous self portraits from all over the globe. He captures images that are often ironic or funny.

Eve Arnold

Irving Penn

Irving Penn is famous for his portraits, and fashion photography.

Steve McCurry

Famous for his "afghan Girl" photo published in National Geographic, McCurry focuses on the human consequences of war, not only showing what war impresses on the landscape, but rather, on the human face. “Most of my images are grounded in people. I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face. I try to convey what it is like to be that person, a person caught in a broader landscape, that you could call the human condition.”

Richard Sandler

I really couldn't find much information on Richard Sandler, but he is a fascinating street photographer.

Helen Levitt

Helen Levitt was a New York city street photographer, she dropped out of high school, taught herself photography, and become a commercial photographer, and an photography teacher.
She was very private, and shy.

Vivian Maier

I'm obsessed with Vivian Maier's work. Her history so interesting, and some what sad. She was discovered after her death, when her boxes or photos and negatives were sold at an auction. She was an amazing street photographer in the 60s and 70s, traveling all over the place, but she lived in Chicago for quite some time. She never shared her photos with anyone.
