What pro photographer do you look up to?

[bdbolin]

So what pro photographer do you look up to? I really - really enjoy the photo's of Andy Biggs, pro wildlife photographer...

...and my dad, Kelly Bolin.
p.s. thanks for getting me into photography dad!

I give a lot of credit to these guys... because I couldn't get to where I am now... have a great job with a magazine, and I'm not even out of high school!

All my favorites post right here

Like Zona, most of my inspiration comes from here and my contacts on flickr. Thinking outside the box, I would have to say Chema Madoz. Even if quite a few people don't consider him a photographer.

I think Chema Madoz work is some of the most inspiring and creative photography I have seen. His images are filled with meaning and simplicity, I've enjoyed the vast majority of his work I've seen. It's not uncommon for an artist to have a few really great images but I find the majority of Chema's work to stand above the rest. I think it takes real talent to make consistently good images like his.

Not necessarily in this order:

Sandy Puc'
Jody Otte
Carrie Sandoval & Brittany Woodall (Baby As Art)
Linnea Lenkus

Those are just off the top of my head. LOTS more. There are tons of others that are not as well known that I really admire, too.

I am in awe of the photographs of the posters here. You guys do an awesome job. I can only hope mine ever look half as good.

Also, I enjoy the photos/work of John Gaps III. He is a photographer here in Iowa who has done all sorts of different photography. I took a class by him recently and he is one of the most down to earth people you could ever hope to learn from.
