RE: JT's Post on Photographers...So who best

[xcite-tv]

With regards to JT's post about Litchfield passing on

Who do you think the best Photographer ever is/was

Mine......Bob Carlos Clarke. without question.........See His Work (http://www.bobcarlosclarke.com/)

:)

[JP]

Henri Cartier-Bresson (http://www.photo-seminars.com/Fame/bresson.htm) ... good philosophy and pretty much created photojournalism ..

Monty Fresco - most people would be amazed how many of his pictured they recognised ...

Don McCullin - amazing work & story, lots more to his work than his vietnam/war stuff..

And as a big Beatles fan I'll throw in Dezo Hoffman too ... ;)

If pressed to pick one, Cartier-Bresson ..

It really depends on what they photograph, you can't compare Bob Carlos Clarke With Cartier Bresson and you can't compare Cartier Bresson with Ansel Adams and you can't, well you get my point.

Helmut Newton.. Even though I've been told that his wife did all the hard work of setting up the pics and all he did was click the button.

In the early 90's I was lucky to have seen both Carlos Clarke and Newton exhibtions in London..

One of my favourites is David Lachappelle:

thats like saying you cant compare Carlos Clarke doing a portrait to me taking a landscape shot YOU CAN. :) .

I was lucky enough to know BCC for a short time and to see his work close up is breathtaking. To see a B&W image 10 feet high in a huge room is quite something...

you cannot. or do you seriously compare Rembrandt to let's say Picasso? different times, different styles, different motives. if at all you can compare those doing works in the same or rather similar field.

No YOU CAN'T!

It's like having a talent show and comparing a singer to a comedian, totally different. Carlos Clarke's work and Cartier Bresson are both totally different and both good in their own right.

So if there was a competition for the greatest reportage photographer and were Carlos Clarke and Cartier Bresson entered, who do you think would win?

Bob Carlos Clarke was at Erotica a few years back?

[Joe A]

SGS...

I forgot that.. And I treated Sahara to a couple of pics at that show.. I still have the signed copies here.. I'll have to take them to a shop to get them copied, as they're on hard card and don't fit my own scanner... :(

Yes, I was quite surprised to see him with a stand there. Been following his stuff for many years.
