Default Who would you choose?

If you could have any photographer (alive or dead) take your photo, who would you choose?

melanie2457,

I would prefer one who is alive, as dead ones never quite get the focus right.

(I'm notoriously camera-shy, so no serious answer is possible.)

I hate being on the wrong side of a camera, but if I had to choose I'd probably go with Cartier-Bresson, because I would no doubt be doing something important and there would be other things to look at besides me in the picture. Oh yeah, he was a pretty okay shot too.

Oh man, you're a riot Jim Though I've heard that the undead are pretty decent at getting the focus right... payment is a bit steep though lol

Um, I don't know who I'd want to take my photo either, mainly because I'm incredibly unaware of famous photographers. It's just not my thing

I don't like my pic taken either, but Annie Liebovitz tends to make everyone look pretty good, or if not that, at least they look interesting.

Walter Iooss Jr. - Being the sports fan that I am...
Now the only problem is finding something that I would look good doing!

I'm with Sara, Annie Liebovitz (along with a really good make-up artist). However like most of you I'd rather be behind the camera than in front of it.

LOL@jiminy and the dead thing!

I'm afraid if i had anyone famous try and capture my good side they would want to take it from the back of my head......
Geddes or Adams would probably be my top two....
