My Favorite Photographers

Favorite Photographers:

  • Robert Capa: War photographer of the Spanish civil war, and WW2. Was killed in 1954 when he stepped on a landmine. There is now a medal in his honor called the “Robert Capa Gold Medal Award” that rewards those with “exceptional professional merit”.
  • Ansel Adams: Landscape and nature photographer. Created the “Zone System” along with others. The “Zone System” was a system that found the correct exposure for black and white film papers.
  • Philippe Halsman: his photographs made more TIME magazine covers than anyone else to date (101 photos). He took many photos of celebrities, writers, other great minds of the time such as, Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Salvador Dali.
