Who are the top 10 photographers in the industry?
 
You've seen their work and think DAMN, the work is exceptional.
Who are you favorites that you have seen on and off the boards?


Dean Capture and SDA Eddie are among the top of my list.

Jack Harrison
Bill Wright
Viv Thomas
Steve Hicks

Probably a few more as well, but that will do for now.

And before you bleat they don't shoot for online. They all will if you could afford them. It's all about the money.

You are not in that list... :pimp

Kevin Marx 06-30-2011 08:09 AM

It all depends on the criteria given. Most photographers shoot the same thing all the time and would probably only shoot another style not quite as well as someone who does shoot such a style all the time.

The lists in here so far are pretty good. I would add 5 or 10 more names I know of, but then again the names being seen are the most notorious usually; the ones that are attached to big programs, etc. Photography is artistic and subjective. Some people like your shit, some people don't. What really usually matters is...... are you getting paid for it? That's about all that counts.

I agree with many of these, specially Dean Capture who is not only talented but a genuinely good guy.

What surprises me is that nobody mentioned Ken Marcus,

Shit fuck gawd damnit all to hell! KEN FUCKIN MARCUS!!! He shot the first pictures I ever jerked off to - Playmate Gig Gangel. He's a good friend and awesome Lensman but I was only on one cup of coffee when I spaced him. Sorry Ken! Great shooter and a great TEACHER! Shoots bad ass black and white too not surprisingly because he was Ansel Adams understudy. He did some pix of me when I was a model that are now myspace notes - too funny.

Great list everyone. :2 cents: :2 cents: When I get some free time away from posting here :winkwink: I definitely will start looking up each photographer.

I agree 110% that any appreciation for a particular photographer is subject to liking/connecting with their particular style.

Should any of you care to share links to you favorite photographers portfolio, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

MaDalton 06-30-2011 03:43 PM

not us for sure - but still we sold content for a couple of million usd so far

dyna mo 06-30-2011 04:04 PM

anybody remember matti klatt? he was pretty fucking good. holly randall has certainly stepped it up big time over the years while IMO suze has lost her eye, prolly due to being distracted raising horses and such....

I agree with that list. Except for a couple. Still think Jack Harrison and Bill Wright should be there.

When it comes to being in the top of your profession, you have to play in the top leagues. Simply put if you were shooting prior to 2007 and weren't selling to magazines, as a photographer you were either losing a ton of money or not good enough. Blunt but true. No online company paid an independent shooter what magazines did.

And in business that's what it's all about. Never gave a fuck what people thought about our content. We were selling it for a lot of money and that's all that goes into the bank.
