Photographer today is one of the most popular and highly paid professions. If earlier, in the twentieth century, only a few were engaged in it, and it was easier to achieve great success, today you need to try hard before others notice you and your work. The vision of photography is important: a clear idea of how the subject and objects will look in the frame. You can learn this and develop a unique style only with time, and observation will help in this: studying the best works recognized classics will help you understand in which direction you should move further in photography.
Learning to see your work even before pressing the shutter button will help a detailed analysis of the images of recognized masters of photography. So you can better understand in which direction you need to adjust your skills. The “golden” time of photography is considered to be the second half of the twentieth century, but we are convinced that there are talents in modern photography as well. The article will talk about professionals whose shots are forever included in the ratings of the best photo works - you should look at them with special care.
Henri Cartier Bresson
A photographer who has long become a classic in the genre of street photography and photorealism. His reports are still considered an example of how to work in this area - the master managed to become absolutely invisible while working, so that the subjects on his shots always looked as natural as possible. Henri studied as an artist, and this left a mark on his corporate style - some surrealism. The first exhibition was held in 1933 at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York.
The golden rule is that the only two compasses a photographer has at his disposal are his eyes. Any purely geometrical analysis, any reduction of a photograph to a bare scheme (and this is in the very nature of photography!) can only be done after the photograph has been taken, developed and printed.

Arthur Fellig (Vigi)
The great master of crime photography has always been the first on the scene of any New York incident - whether it was a petty brawl or a murder and fire. The photographer liked to work with the poor areas of the city, to study all aspects of their life. Even renowned filmmaker and photographer Stanley Kubrick learned from Vigi's work - in general, Felling's influence touched many talented people.
For me, photos are like pancakes. I have to get them while they're hot.

Irvine Penn
The man who revealed to us all the beauty of portrait photography and fashion shooting. He loved to work with representatives of various professions, photographing them in full working uniforms. In general, Penn was very fond of using in his works signature techniques invented by himself. For example, shooting stars in the corner of the room, using nondescript gray or whitish backgrounds.
If I look at any object for some time, the sight fascinates me. This is the curse of the photographer.
Marlene Dietrich, New York, 1948.
Diana Arbus
The woman photographer was distinguished by a special love for shooting deviant personalities and outcasts: among these were nudists, dwarfs, people with dementia, transvestites - all those from whom it is customary to look away when meeting. One of Diana's most famous photographs, the Identical Twins sold at auction for nearly half a million dollars.
There were and are an infinite number of things on earth. All individuals are different, everyone wants different things, everyone knows different things, everyone looks different. Everything that was on earth was different from the other. This is what I love - the differences, the uniqueness of each and the importance of life. I see something that seems miraculous, I see the divinity of ordinary things.
Puerto Rican woman with a mole, 1965
Mark Riboud
Probably, almost everyone has seen a picture of a hippie girl holding out a flower to soldiers with rifles. Frenchman Marc Riboud is a photographer who is considered a genius reportage shooting, traveled the world in search of interesting shots: his works from Vietnam and China are especially appreciated. Fine works can also be found from the territory of the USSR in the 60s: these are shots from the everyday life of ordinary Soviet citizens.
I have always been more moved by beauty than by violence or ugliness. It is a great happiness to be able to notice order in the world's disorder, to find rhymes and rhythms through the camera's viewfinder.
Salvador Dali, Cadaqués, Spain, 1963
Elliott Erwitt
A French photographer with Russian roots, working in America, was very fond of making his work absurd and provocative. The master looks at our non-trivial world with a special look that stands out from the crowd of other photographers - here irony, frivolity and humor are intertwined together and create memorable masterpieces.
What I love about any - young, old, middle-aged, it doesn't matter, photographers - is when there is a feeling that they are interested in human comedy ...
New Jersey, 1971
Richard Avedon
A photographer whose stunning black-and-white portraits feature every star, from John Lennon to Audrey Hepburn. His manner can be described as concise and cuts off everything superfluous in the picture: you will see only a person and his gaze, as if turned right at you. He began taking photographs as a small child: there is a legend that nine-year-old Richard caught the great composer Sergei Rachmaninov in his lens.
I made my list of "do not": do not look for the best light, do not compose, do not give in to the temptation of eloquent poses. And all these “don’t” lead me to the “must”. To the white background, to the person I'm interested in, and to what's going on between us.
Dalai Lama XIV
William Eugene Smith
The photographer became famous thanks to his pictures of the Second World War wars - the photojournalist was able to work both with heavy plots of military operations, and with sentimental situations from the life of ordinary people. The photographer loved to use 35mm cameras and refused to work in publications where shooting was supposed to be done on medium format. He worked as a documentary photographer for Life magazine.
I have not taken a single photo - good or bad - without paying for it with peace of mind.
Guy Bourdain
More than 25 years have passed since the death of the master, and his works are still relevant and continue to be copied. Many take an example from Guy Bourdin's photographs - after all, it was he who showed how interesting fashion photography can be. Absolutely creatively free - he created frames filled with both surreal images and their eroticism. His pictures were adored by Vogue.
Yes, he was quite unusual, strange and had a special sense of humor, not like everyone else, but he was also always polite, respectful, well-mannered, calm and behaved as if he came from a very good family ... He always asked me whether I'm hungry, whether I'm cold or hot, and always tried to please me. He said that he did not like to shoot hungry models. - Joan Bennett, Guy Bourdin's model.
Alexander Rodchenko
A true revolutionary and pioneer in Soviet photography, advertising and design. He was one of the first masters of constructivism, working at the junction with the avant-garde. Because of his bold views on art, he was expelled from the Union of Artists - the photographer did not want to follow the style of socialist realism and moved in his own direction. Filmed by Lilya Brik, Vladimir Mayakovsky.
In order to teach a person to see from new points, it is necessary to shoot ordinary, well-known objects from completely unexpected points and in unexpected positions, and to shoot new objects from different points, giving a complete picture of the object.
Stairs. 1930
Patrick Demarchelier
The most famous fashion photographer who made the fashion genre more complex and sophisticated. Thanks to Patrick the photos in fashion magazines became not so glamorous and pompous. He owns perhaps the most famous photo of Princess Diana, and his work graces the covers of the best magazines.
Basically I learned to take pictures… just taking pictures, making a large number of pictures. I have made many mistakes, but they are the ones that teach the best. The work of a photographer is like a sport: you have to train every day.
Kate Moss, New York, 1992
Annie Leibovitz
One of the most important photographers of the second half of the twentieth century and the present. She not only photographed, but immersed herself in the life of a model. ridding their viewers of hyperglamour.

Cate Blanchett, 2004
Mick Rock
A photographer with a last name that explains a lot: this man took pictures of all the iconic rock musicians and was even listed as the staff photographer of David Bowie himself. Mick Rock filmed the seventies and their heroes - in journalistic circles he was considered the person who managed to do this most fully.
This is a 1974 London promotional party before the release of Sheer Heart Attack. As you know, in those days, I had already made several covers for Queen albums and took a whole bunch of photos. And they obviously had a good time. At that time I often filmed parties, but only with the participation of those with whom I already worked or was friends. I mean, I'm too old to be paparazzi, so I only took pictures of people who would be comfortable with me being around.
Mick Jagger and Andy Warhol, NYC 1978
Sebastian Salgado
A photographer who captures reality in such a way that it begins to seem somehow fantastic. Based on his work, the film “Salt of the Earth” was shot, and the master depicts anomalies, poverty, and environmental problems. Even such terrible scenes in the master's frame begin to truly fascinate with their unusual beauty.
Photography is much more than just taking pictures. It's a way of life. This is what you feel, what you want to express, this is your ideology and ethics. It is a language that allows you to travel through time.

Anton Corbijn
One of the most famous rock photographers and filmmakers, who became famous for his video clips and photo shoots for such monsters of music as U2 and Depeche Mode. His photographs are slightly “noisy” and blurred, but at the same time very original. According to many experts, it was Anton who made the best shots for such rock bands as Nirvana and Metallica.
I listen to people. I don't just use them as a model, but I try to understand what they want. Therefore, when you look at a photograph, you feel a living person in it.
Stephen Meisel
Fashion photographer who contributed to Madonna's cult book "Sex" and became especially famous after it. It was he who introduced the world to such top models as Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Amber Valletta.

I turn reality into fiction.
Hungary. Budapest. Therapeutic baths of Széchenyi 1997
Richard Kern
Scandalous, provocative and bold - this underground photographer captured the themes of rock and roll, sex and human freedom in all its manifestations. The theme of violence can be traced in his works, and such ambiguous personalities as Sasha Gray and Gee-Gee Allin became the heroes of the pictures. Published in major men's magazines, and also shoots videos for Marilyn Manson.
It's just that young photographers shoot the same thing. Most of them are just boring people. They send me a lot of works, and it's good if one out of twenty is worth something. There are five schools in New York alone, each producing two hundred photographers a year.
Sally Mann
For many years he has been photographing in the southern United States, preferring to work only in the summer, devoting the rest of the months to developing shots. She became famous for her black and white photographs, especially portraits of her family and children. Simple stories from life away from the bustle of the city, independence from social rules- the main motives of the work.
Memory is our main tool, an inexhaustible source. Photographs open doors to the past, but also provide a glimpse into the future.
The profession of a photographer today is one of the most massive. Perhaps it would be easier here to become the best of the best in the early or middle of the 20th century. Today, when every second or third photographer, well, at least considers himself as such, the criteria for a good photo, at first glance, are blurred. But this is only at first, superficial glance. Quality standards and focus on talent have not gone away. You always need to keep before your eyes a kind of standard, an example that you could follow. We have prepared for you a list of the 20 best photographers in the world, which will be an excellent tuning fork...
Alexander Rodchenko
Revolutionary photographer. Rodchenko means as much to photography as Eisenstein does to cinema. He worked at the intersection of avant-garde, propaganda, design and advertising.
All these hypostases formed an inseparable unity in his work.
Rethinking all the genres that existed before him, he made a kind of great turning point in the art of photography and set the course for everything new and progressive. The famous photographs of Lily Brik and Mayakovsky belong to his lens.
- And he is also the author of the famous phrase “Work for life, not for palaces, temples, cemeteries and museums.”
Henri Cartier Bresson
Classic street photography. A native of Chantelupe, department of the Seine and Marne in France. He started as an artist painting in the genre of "surrealism", but his achievements are not limited to this. In the early 1930s, when the famous Leica fell into his hands, he fell in love with photography forever.
Already in the 33rd year, an exhibition of his work was held at Julien Levy, a gallery in New York. He worked with director Jean Renoir. Bresson's street reporting is especially valued.
Especially contemporaries noted his talent to remain invisible to the photographed.
Therefore, the unstaged, reliable nature of his photographs catches the eye. Like a real genius, he left a galaxy of talented followers.
Anton Corbijn
Perhaps, for fans of Western rock music, this name is not an empty phrase. In general, one of the most famous photographers in the world.
The most original and outstanding photographs of such bands as: Depeche Mode, U2, Nirvana, Joy Division and others were made by Anton. He is also the album designer for U2. Plus has shot videos for a number of bands and performers, including: Coldplay, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, country music legend Johnny Cash, thrash metal mastodons Metallica, singer Roxette.
Critics note the originality of Corbijn's style, which, however, has a host of imitators.
Mick Rock
There are paparazzi photographers who invade the personal lives of stars without permission and are ruthlessly thrown out of there. And there are people like Mick Rock.
What does it mean? Well, how can I tell you. Remember David Bowie? Here is Mick - the only one of the people with a lens at the ready, who was in the personal space of the discoverer of new musical horizons, the trickster and the Martian from rock music. Mick Rock's photographs are a kind of cardiogram of the period of Bowie's work from 1972 to 1973, when Ziggy Stardust had not yet returned to his planet.
In that period and before, David and his associates worked hard on the image of a real star, which as a result became a reality. On a budget, Mick's work is inexpensive but impressive. “Everything was created on very small means with smoke and mirrors,” Mick recalled.
Georgy Pinkhasov
An original photographer of his generation, a member of the Magnum agency, a graduate of VGIK. It was George who was invited by Andrei Tarkovsky to the set of the film "Stalker" as a reporter.
During the years of Perestroika, when the nude genre was a priority among advanced photographers, Georgy was one of the first to draw attention to the importance of a reportage shot. They say that he did it at the suggestion of Tarkovsky and Tonino Guerra.
As a result, today his photographs of that everyday life are not only masterpieces containing authenticity, but also the most important evidence of that era. One of the famous cycles of George Pinkhasov is "Tbilisi baths". George notes the important role of chance in art.
Annie Leibovitz
The most important name for our list of the best photographers. Annie has made immersing herself in the life of a model her main creative principle.
One of the most famous portraits of John Lennon was made by her, and quite spontaneously.
“At that time, I still didn’t know how to manage models, ask them to do what I need. I just measured the exposure and asked John to look into the lens for a second. And clicked...”
The result immediately hit the cover of Rolling Stone. The last photo shoot in Lennon's life was also held by her. The same photo in which a naked John curled up around Yoko Ono, dressed in all black. Who just didn’t get into the camera lens of Annie Leibovitz: pregnant Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg bathing in milk, Jack Nicholson playing golf in a dressing gown, Michelle Obama, Natalia Vodianova, Meryl Streep. Do not list all.
Sara Moon
Real name - Mariel Hadang. Born in Paris 1941, during the Vichy regime her family moved to England. Mariel started as a model, posing for various publications, then tried herself on the other side of the lens and got a taste.
One can note her sensitive work with models, since Sarah knew firsthand about their profession. Her works are distinguished by their special sensuality; Sarah's talent is especially sensitive to convey the femininity of her models.
In the 1970s, Sarah retired from modeling and turned to black and white fine art photography. In 1979 he shoots experimental films. Subsequently, she worked as a cameraman on the set of the film "Lulu", which will receive an award at the Venice Film Festival in 1987.

He shoots only in the summer, all other seasons he develops photographs. Favorite genres: portrait, landscape, still life, architectural photography. Favorite color scheme: black and white. Sally became famous for her photographs, which depict members of her family - her husband and children.
The main thing that distinguishes her work is the simplicity of plots and interest in everyday life. Sally and her husband belong to the hippie generation, which has become their signature style of life: life away from the city, a vegetable garden, independence from social conventions.
Sebastian Salgado
Magic realist from photography. He draws all his wonderful images from reality. They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
So, Sebastian is able to see it in anomalies, misfortunes and environmental disasters.
Wim Wenders, the eminent German New Wave director, spent a quarter of a century researching the work of Salgado, resulting in the film Salt of the Earth, which won a special prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
Weegee (Arthur Fellig)
It is considered a classic of the criminal genre in photography. During the period of his active work, not a single urban incident - from a fight to a murder, did not go unnoticed by Weegee.
He was ahead of his competitors, and sometimes kept up with the crime scene even earlier than the police. In addition to criminal topics, he specialized in reporting on the daily life of the slums of the metropolis.
His photographs formed the basis of Jules Dassin's Naked City noir, and Weegee is also mentioned in Zack Snyder's Watchmen. And the famous director Stanley Kubrick in his youth studied the art of photography with him. Check out the early films of the genius, they are definitely influenced by the Ouija aesthetic.
Irvin Penn
Master in the portrait genre. We can note a number of his favorite tricks: from shooting models in the corner of the room to using a plain white or gray background.

Diana Arbus
The name received at birth is Diana Nemerova. Her family emigrated from Soviet Russia in 1923 and settled in one of the New York neighborhoods.
Diana was distinguished by a craving for violating generally accepted norms and for committing extravagant acts.

After some time, Alan left the stage and took up photography, adding his wife to the cause. They opened a photography studio and shared responsibilities. Creative differences led to a break in the 60s. Having defended her creative principles, Diana became a cult photographer.
As an artist, she was distinguished by her interest in freaks, dwarfs, transvestites, and the feeble-minded. Also for nudity. You can learn more about Diana's personality by watching the film "Fur", where Nicole Kidman perfectly played her.
Evgeny Khaldei
A very important photographer for our list. Thanks to him, the key events of the first half of the 20th century were captured. As a teenager, he chose the path of a photojournalist.
Already at the age of 22, he was an employee of the TASS Photo Chronicle. He made reports about Stakhanov, captured the construction of the Dneproges. He worked as a war correspondent throughout the Great patriotic war. Having traveled from Murmansk to Berlin with his trusty Leica camera, he took a number of photographs, thanks to which we can at least imagine military everyday life today.
The Potsdam Conference, the hoisting of the red banner over the Reichstag, the act of capitulation of Nazi Germany and other important events fell into the eye of his lens. In 1995, two years before his death, Yevgeny Khaldei received the title of Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters.
Mark Riboud
Reportage master. His first famous photograph, published in Life, is “Painter on the Eiffel Tower”. Recognized as a photography genius, Riboud had a modest personality.

Richard Kern
And a little more rock and roll, especially since this is the main theme of this photographer, along with violence and sex. Considered one of the most important photo artists for the New York underground.
He captured many famous, one might say - extremely famous musicians. Among them is the absolute monster and transgressor punk musician GG Allin. Kern also collaborates with men's magazines, where he supplies his erotic works.
But his approach is far from the generally accepted glossy one. In his free time from photography, he shoots clips. Bands Kern has collaborated with include Sonic Youth and Marilyn Manson.
Thomas Morkes
Do you want peace, silence, and maybe desertion? Then this is one of the most suitable candidates. Tomas Morkes from the Czech Republic - Landscape photographer who has chosen charm as his subject autumn nature. These pictures have everything: romance, sadness, the triumph of withering.

Laureate of the most prestigious competitions, including awards - the French "Order of Arts and Literature".
Ron Galella
Covering various areas of photography, one cannot fail to say about the pioneer of such a dubious and at the same time important for understanding modern world genre like the paparazzi.
You probably know that this phrase comes from Federico Fellini's film La Dolce Vita. Ron Garella is one of those photographers who will not ask permission to shoot, but on the contrary, will catch the stars when they are not ready for it in general.
Julia Roberts, Woody Allen, Al Pacino, Sophia Loren - this is not a complete list of those whom Ron arbitrarily caught. Once Marlon Brando got so angry at Ron that he knocked out several of his teeth on the move.
Guy Bourdain
One of the most important photographers who are needed for a correct understanding of the world of fashion, its origins and aesthetics. He combines eroticism and surrealism in his works. One of the most copied, imitated photographers in the world. Erotic, surreal. Now - a quarter of a century after his death - more and more relevant and modern.
He published his first photographs in the mid-1950s. The photograph was, to put it mildly, defiant. A girl in an elegant hat against the backdrop of calf heads peering out of a butcher shop window. Over the next 32 years, Bourdain regularly supplied amusing shots to Vogue magazine. What distinguished him from many of his colleagues was that Bourdain was given complete creative freedom.
The year 1939 is considered to be the year of the invention of photography. Since that time, the technique of photography and the concept itself has changed dramatically. Regardless of when the photograph was taken, some of them have left an unforgettable mark on history. We present to your attention the most famous photographs.
