Edward Weston
http://www.edward-weston.com
Edward Weston has a very similar style in all of his photographs but he takes pictures of a lot of different things, such as natural forms, nudes and architecture. There are a few people that do not like his work as they find his pictures of nudes to be very controversial, however i find it interesting the way he uses different tones and shadow to make the two dimensional picture appear to be three dimensional. I think Edward Weston's work would be useful when looking at tone and form as it is apparent from all of his photographs that he takes these formal elopements into great consideration.
Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams is semi-famous photographer. His work is mainly in black and white and he is known for using shadows to create photographs that include the formal element, form. I like Adams work as it he takes a lot of formal elements into consideration before he takes the picture. Ansel Adams work will be useful to me if we ever take pictures based around form, tone, line or depth.
William de Wiveleslie Abney.

William de Wiveleslie Abney was a famous british photographer. The vast majority of his photographs were in sepia and the main subject of which his photographers were of was architecture. I like his work as he mainly focused on he lines and the depth of the photograph. William de Wiveleslie Abney's work would come in useful when it comes to taking photos of depth and also form as he uses the shadows to make the buildings/walls look two dimensional.
Elliot Porter.

In contrast to Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter shows form and depth by using colour and tone. I like Elliot Porters work was he often uses tone to show that something has three dimensions in a two dimensional photograph. he uses darker colours to contrast against the lighter colours and often edits them to be more vibrant that they may originally be to show the person looking at it the beauty that colours can hold. I would look at Elliot Porters work if we had to ale photographs of colour or tone as i could take inspiration from hims use of editing and lighting.
Diana Arbus
http://diane-arbus-photography.com
Diana Arbus is an american photographer that only takes pictures in black and white.
There are people who dislike Diana Arbus's work as she sometimes photographs people naked however i personally find Diana Arbus's work inspiring as she always photographs controversial subjects in society. I feel that due to all of her pictures being in back and white it means that whoever is looking at the photograph is able to focus more on what the photograph is trying to portray.
Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson is a french photographer that mainly takes photographs in black and white. I like Henri Cartier-Bressons work as he pays a lot of attention to the shadows and lines which create depth and form to the photographs he takes. I would look into more of Henri Cartier-Bresson's work when looking at form as the majority of his photos it is obvious that he has taken the lighting and shadows into great consideration.
Jai Maisel

Jai Maisel is an American photographer and graphic designer. Jai Maisel is most well known for his use of colour and light in his photographs. I like Maisels work as he doesn't just take pictures of one subject, like buildings, he takes a variety of pictures with subjects ranging from people to architecture, but each picture he takes it is obvious that he is good at capturing for and colour, which would be useful if i were to looking into those topics.
Brian Duffy
http://www.duffyphotographer.com/reportage/#bwg7/315
Brian Duffy takes photographs in a lot of different styles and of a lot of different topics.
Some of his pictures are about controversial topics and society, some of his photographs are nude, both of these types of his photos cause people to argue gains his work but Brian Duffy also takes a lot of pictures of famous people, supermodels and has taken pictures for Elle magazine. I like his work as although he takes a variety of different pictures he always pays attention to form and colour.
Gyula Halasz (Brassai)
http://www.atgetphotography.com/The-Photographers/BRASSAI.html
Gyula Halasz or Brassai as he's more commonly known, was a famous Hungarian photographer who usually takes portrait photos of people or photographs or landscapes usually taken in black and white. I like Brassai's work as in his pictures of landscapes he focuses a lot on lines, depth and form and in his portraits he focuses a lot on the lines and the form on the faces which make them look three dimensional in a two dimensional photograph.
Robert Capa
http://www.magnumphotos.com/C.aspx?VP3=CMS3&VF=MAGO31_10_VForm&ERID=24KL535353
Robert Capa is most well known for his photographs during the war, of soldiers and of civilians. All of his photographs are in black and white and tend to have a main focus in the middle of the photograph. I like Robert Capa's work it it would be most useful when looking at movement in pictures as in a lot of his photographs the background is blurry so it appears that there is a lot of movement going on in the background.

Jerry Uslesmann.
http://www.uelsmann.net
Jerry Uelsmann is an american photographer famous for his black and white photographs of surreal subjects, like the photograph above that shows a tree growing into hands holding a giant nest. I like Uelsmanns work as they are very different from a lot of other photographers and he uses special effects in his photographs, to make them surreal but he does it so well that it is unnoticeable. I would look at is work when taking photographs of texture and tone as it is obvious he pays great attention to the lighting in his photographs.

Man Ray was a famous american 'modernist' artist, most well known for his portrait and fashion photographs. Man Ray was also known for being a painter, which is obvious through his photographs as they are very creative. In all of Man Ry's work, it is obvious that he pays a great attention to detail and i would look at his work for inspiration when taking photographs of shape.

Wolfgang Tillmans is a famous German 'fine art' photographer. Wolfgang Tillmans work is described to be 'diverse' and it is said that he has a distinguished observation of his surrounding and he his always looking into the foundations that photography is based on.

Edweard Muybridge.
http://www.eadweardmuybridge.co.uk
Edweard Muybridge is a famous british photographer that is most well know for showing movement and motion with a series of photographs. i like his work as it is a different way to photograph movement rather than just capturing it in one photograph, so i would look into his work more if we were to take more photographs of movement.

I like his photographs as they are all of regular situations, like walking the dog, but there is always a surreal twist to them, I would look more into his work when taking picture when looking at colour as his photographs are all very colourful.
