This document discusses several influential portrait photographers and their styles. David Bailey is known for his classic black and white portraits for Vogue that aim for simplicity and timelessness. Mick Rock, nicknamed "The Man Who Shot the 70s", captured the personalities of rock stars like the Rolling Stones and Queen with shots that oozed coolness and captured the sex, drugs, and rock and roll era. Cindy Sherman photographs herself in surreal and exaggerated personas that challenge gender stereotypes. Diane Arbus photographed marginalized groups with her stark black-and-white square portraits.
