1. Cameron Morrison INFLUENTIAL PHOTOGRAPHERS

2. NIKKI SIXX

3. Nikki Sixx’s photographs are powerful and each one has a story behind it. He mainly photographs drug addicts, homeless people, and drifters. Included with almost all of his photographs is a short paragraph of the story behind the person in the photograph. I think he does a terrific job relaying the darkness, desolation, and despair of his subjects. However, even without the captions he includes, his pictures do an excellent job telling the stories.

4. ANSEL ADAMS

5. Ansel Adams photography is exceptional for current standards and mind boggling for his time. His landscapes are surreal and breathtaking. Countless photographers have tried to replicate his work, but even with digital photography their efforts were in vain. He was truly a talented photographer. His works are powerful speak for themselves.

6. ANNIE LEIBOVITZ

7. Annie Leibovitz, like Ansel Adams, has a surreal look to her work. Although most of her work is for advertisements and magazines, she still has an exceptional amount of talent. The amount of detail in each of her pictures is exceptional. She does a phenomena job of having high clarity pictures but still having the people in the photograph look smooth and stunning. Her work needs no captions or explanation. The photographs tell the story without any problem, an obvious sign of an extremely talented photographer.
