It's been a while since I posted a classic photographer, so to rectify that, here's a portfolio of 1950's great Harold Llyod.

Emil Schildt

 

Danish photographer and master of lighting painting, Emil Schilt, has long been one of my personal favourites. I've featured him here several times, but I don't think I've seen his photo.net profile before. It's a nice "one stop" introduction to this influential photographer.

Jean Jacques Andre

The last of the three site updates I'm posting today gives me particular pleasure. Regular readers will recall that a couple of months back, JJ Andre, my mentor and dear friend had a serious health crisis. He'd had a heart attack and then experienced numerous miserable complications as a result. Now I am very happy to report that not only is he recovering, but has been spending his convalescence completely updating his website.

M. Andre, je suis heureux que vous êtes encore en vie!

Man Ray

I'll wrap up this week's post with one of the greats, surrealist master Man Ray. This site has a staggering amount of his work, searchable by theme and medium. Although some of the thumbnails don't work properly, this is still an amazing resource.

Pretty Girl Shooter

This is just a little plug, apropos of nothing in particular, for Jimmy D's Pretty Girl Shooter. Jimmy is a professional glamour photographer in California, and he has got more photographic knowledge in his pinky finger than just about any other blogger out there. On his blog he routinely shares his opinions on gear, lighting techniques, and making a living as a working photographer in the jungles of Los Angeles. He's a great, entertaining writer too. So if you want some wisdom from a font of knowledge, check out this site.

Imogen Cunningham

It's good to re-connect with the classics sometimes. Here's a wonderful collection of Imogen Cunningham's work including some very early images dating back as far as 1910.
