Too numerous to count, but most can be found by searching famous photographers on Google. I know..that's a big help...but, while web searching on your own, you might find another or two that tickles your fancy.

The following three are my current crushes because of the mix between art and commercial and the surreal looks they're so good at getting..

Erwin Olaf
Anton Corbijn
Dave LaChapelle

And Joe McNally because of his lighting genius

I love highly saturated, dramatic photos that reflect the feeling of a scene.

Internationally renowned Kevin McNeal is one of my favorites: http://kevinmcnealphotography.com/http://

Kevin McNeal Photography : Landscapes

I was honored recently that Kevin added me as a contact on Flickr before I knew how famous he is.

I got to meet him when his exhibit was here (The Hague) and have been to a lecture he gave in his studio/home in Amsterdam. Pretty laid back cool guy for being so awesome.
There's this element of crafter surrealism to much of his stuff that I just wish I could achieve 1% of! And the subtlety of his lighting (and PP techniques) is stunning to me especially in his "Hope" series and when I saw his "Fashion Victims" (NSFW so no link!) hugely blown up.. it was.. um.. mind numbing.

Lately on flickr I've been into Brian Storey, Phamster, and always Lou O'Bedlam.
