  I recognise a few names there. Ansel Adams of course, and the infamous Jill Greenberg. The rest are new to me. It’s going to take me a while to look through the rest!

  Oh, and really, asking for photographers to name their favourite photographer’s portfolios? I think we may see a lot of self-promotion in the comments! (Go on, visit my blog then!)

  I’m really enjoying the work of Paul Calver. His website is also a great example of a non-ordinary flash-based web portfolio.

  Interesting list Martin, thanks for including me.

  You missed Joe Cornish, however. Perhaps just as his web presence isn’t too strong. I must remember to mildly ridicule him when next I see him! lol

  not sure whether the list is supposed to reflect current and past photographers or just photographers who have their own website. Ansel Adams on this list and he died in ‘84.

  If you want to add master photographers, you can’t go past Cartier-Bresson (amazing street photographer) and Robert Capa (the inventor of photojornolism!!? Most famous for images of the spanish civil war and d-day landing)

  They were the founding members of Magnum Photo (see website http://www.magnumphotos.com/photographers)

  Thank you so much for this work, I am very appreciative, this has given me many new ideas! I would love to see some of Abe Morell’s prints added to this great list. Some of my favorites are his camera obscura photos. http://www.abelardomorell.net/photographs.html

  Many of these are nice, but too many of them have annoying websites. I hate to have my browser resized, and a number of them I just bailed from because the Flash took so long to load. Thanks for the list, however, as some of these are excellent examples.

  How does a man who heavily manipulated his photographs using photoshop gets to be number one? And I think Reed Young should be up there among these photographers!

• markgamon Says:
  December 5th, 2007 at 7:26 pm

  That’s an excellent list. Just one comment - on my screen the overlay boxes for Tim Flach and Eric Olmas are sitting on top of the text list. So I’m missing about 30 photographers! I’m guessing this has something to do with firefox (I use IE). Any chance of fixing it? All the best, Mark

• Kol Tregaskes Says:
  December 5th, 2007 at 8:52 pm

  Works fine on mine, what version of Firefox are you using?

• markgamon Says:
  December 5th, 2007 at 10:24 pm

  Nope - I use Internet Explorer. I thought it might be because the site was optimised for Firefox. Ah well - I can just about click on the hidden links, I’ve discovered. I just don’t know who I’m choosing because I can only see the first letter in their name.

  In response to the first comment way above this, are we really still having the ‘photoshop manipulation’ debate? You point a camera at something, you’re manipulating: there is no such thing as an objective photographic image. W. Eugene Smith was one of the world’s greatest, and he manipulated his negs like crazy in the darkroom. Other people manipulate their images at the point of capture, using flash, multiple exposure, make-up, and even their choice of film stock. What’s the difference if someone chooses to do the same in the digital darkroom, using photoshop?

• markgamon Says:

  I love how this generates so much interest and controversy. I can’t believe you put in X.. How dare you miss out Y.. Everyone is passionate about it! I’d like to add one of my friends, she is young and I think one to watch. Her photography has come leaps and bounds in the last 15 months and will continue to improve. Her name is Jo Briggs and her website is http://www.jbriggs.co.uk/.

  The problems with IE6/7 are caused by the exact positioning of the tag within the list of names — in each case the tag should be moved down three names. That means that the Bumbut image needs to be moved down three and the Flach six names because of the transitive rule. There’s not enough space between images.
