Review Icon irishgit reviewed Edward Weston in Famous Photographers:
One of my favorites and someone I regularly confuse with Ansel Adams (another favorite) His use of shapes, light and shadow is intriguing, no matter what the subject of the photograph.

Review Icon irishgit reviewed Ron Haviv in Famous Photographers:
Haviv is one of the best of the modern photojournalists, and while his technical and compositional skills do not seem as high as some of the greats of that genre, he has an undisputed ability to capture a story in an image. His work on the Bosnian-Serbian conflict is moving, if not for the faint of heart, and his work on Darfur perhaps even more so.Image

Review Icon irishgit reviewed Richard Avedon in Famous Photographers:
I'm not a big fan. While I recognize his technical and artistic proficiency (which is truly impressive), there is something about his work that leaves me rather cold, whether its his fashion work or his more "serious" stuff.Image

Review Icon irishgit reviewed Mathew Brady in Famous Photographers:
If he isn't the first photojournalist, he's so close that you couldn't live on the difference. His pictures of the American Civil War are excellent, both in the character studies and in the aftermath views of the battlefield.

Camera and film technology of the time did not allow action shots, but his studies of the grim reality of death on the battlefield. During the Civil War Brady exhibited photographs from the Battle of Antietam in his New York gallery entitled, "The Dead of Antietam." Many of the images in were graphic photographs of corpses which shocked viewers and was the first time most Americans saw the realities of war.

This may be my favorite of his. A study of three captured Confederate soldiers, they appear worried yet proud in defeat.
