、I like his style of shooting the landscape, with the black and white, but still perfect to show the unique charm of the landscape, it is air in the black and white show more of the gentle landscape

Most of his work is completed at high altitude, his photos give a strong sense of vision, people think his picture is very atmospheric, after reading there is a panting feeling

William Eggleston

black-and-white images, he soon abandoned them to experiment with colour technology to record experiences in more sensual and accurate terms at a time when colour photography was largely confined to commercial advertising.

His colored works are like a living oil painting, and a photograph is like a book with rich stories.

Eugène Atget

Eugène Atget (12 February 1857 – 4 August 1927) was a French flâneur and a pioneer of documentary photography, noted for his determination to document all of the architecture and street scenes of Paris before their disappearance to modernization.^[1] Most of his photographs were first published by Berenice Abbott after his death. An inspiration for the surrealists and other artists, his genius was only recognized by a handful of young artists in the last two years of his life, and he did not live to see the wide acclaim his work would eventually receive.

The U.S. Library of Congress was unable to determine the ownership of the twenty Atget photographs in its collection, thus suggesting that they are technically orphan works. Abbott clearly had a copyright on the selection and arrangement of his photographs in her books, which is now owned by Commerce Graphics. The Library also stated that the Museum of Modern Art, which owns the collection of Atget's negatives, reported that Atget had no heirs and that any rights on these works may have expired.

He recorded the French street let me see a kind of as if they have been to the kind of place feeling

These are in the old movie can not see the real side

Nancy "Nan" Goldin

An exhibition of Goldin's work was censored in Brazil, two months before opening, due to its sexually explicit nature. The main reason was the photographs containing sexual acts next to children. In Brazil, there is a law that prohibits the image of minors associated with pornography. The sponsor of the exhibition, a cellphone company, claimed to be unaware of the content of Goldin's work and that there was a conflict between the work and its educational project. The curator of the Rio de Janeiro Museum of Modern Art changed the schedule in order to accommodate, in February 2012, the Goldin exhibition in Brazil.

Her work shows the other side of the person, including sex, may be in her eyes, these things can be recorded things, this is the reason she can be excellent, she could not catch someone else's unexpected things

Most of her photos have a fantastic feeling, although all black and white, but I think the good place is that she does not need color can take pictures of the wonderful, black and white also has the soul and the feeling of life

Walker Evans

Walker Evans (November 3, 1903 – April 10, 1975) was an American photographer and photojournalist best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) documenting the effects of the Great Depression. Much of Evans's work from the FSA period uses the large-format, 8x10-inch camera. He said that his goal as a photographer was to make pictures that are "literate, authoritative, transcendent".^[1] Many of his works are in the permanent collections of museums and have been the subject of retrospectives at such institutions as The Metropolitan Museum of Art or George Eastman House.

Gordon Parks

Gordon Parks (November 30, 1912 – March 7, 2006) was a noted American photographer, musician, writer and film director, who became prominent in U.S. documentary photojournalism in the 1940s through 1970s—particularly in issues of civil rights, poverty and African-Americans—and in glamour photography. As the first famous pioneer among black filmmakers, he was the first African-American to produce and direct major motion pictures—developing films relating the experience of slaves and struggling black Americans, and creating the "blaxploitation" genre. He is best remembered for his iconic photos of poor Americans during the 1940s (taken for a federal government project), for his photographic essays for Life magazine, and as the director of the 1971 film Shaft. Parks also was an author, poet and composer.

I like his shooting style, feeling every photo has its own style and charm, he likes to shoot with personal characteristics of the characters, in my opinion, he shot everyone like a story book，In the modern has been difficult to find such a character close-up, and can not find such a classic character close-up, regardless of clothing in terms of modern has been difficult to find
