Petter Hegre is my favorite. Has anyone ever seen Mario Sorrenti or Sante Dorazio? They are extremely handsome photographers! They should model more then photograph.

I love Inez and Vinoodh, I think their work always has such life and movement to it. Corinne Day is also great, she brings amazing colours to her work and still it tends to look kind of dark and moody. And Sorrenti is too, he really knows the meaning of sexy

I liked Helmut Newton. most of the new people aren't very good. there's only so much skill required in lighting someone well and pressing click

yeah, Uh I feel a bit left out because I don't pay much attention to who is behind the carmera although I do realize that it is an important factor...

if you ever see 'behind the scenes' of shoots, you'll see that the photog basically says "yes! yes! byooteefool! yes!" a lot, and clicks the shutter, then selects 5% of the shots as good.

this means that it's mostly in the set-up, and knowing when a model is hitting a good pose. in the set-up, it's pretty much art direction, which ends up being like 80-90% of the total skill applied to a shoot.
