1. Michael Kenna
Michael Kenna is an English photographer
best known for his black & white landscapes.
Kenna's photography focuses on unusual
landscapes with ethereal light achieved by
photographing at dawn or at night with
exposures of up to 10 hours.
2. Since about 1986 he has mainly used
Hasselblad medium format and Holga cameras
and this accounts for the square format of
most of his photographs.
The main exception was for the photographs
in Monique's Kindergarten for which a 4 x 5
large format camera was employed.
4. Annie Leibovitz
Arguably the most famous portrait
photographer working today, Leibovitz has
photographed many of the world’s major
celebrities, often in elaborate and imaginative
set-ups
5. Annie Leibovitz learned the old school way of
taking pictures – in film and in black-and-
white. The National Portrait Gallery in
Washington displays more than 200 black-
and-white photographs taken by Annie
Leibovitz since the 1970s. But when she
joined the Rolling Stones magazine, the use
of color became popular. Annie Leibovitz
embraced color and her trademark was to use
vivid primary ones along with unique and
often startling poses of her subjects.
