What photographers do you draw your inspiration from? Although I absolutely adore taking pictures, I'm not much for looking at other people's work, I don't know why. I'd really like to start getting into others, so if you have any suggestions, let me know.

Hands down, Ansel Adams. My husband has gotten me addicted to anything Adams related. I am still trying to swipe one of his larger photos (Jeffery Scott) from the husbands office!

I really like the work of Peter Lik, also Ken Duncan is great.
They are both Australian photographers, and gave me some great inspirations.

I looked at some of Ansel Adams' work, and I agree that they are quite remarkable. Peter Lik has some interesting pieces, and I liked Ken Duncan's work as well. I'm still looking for other good photographers.

Peter Lik and Ken Duncan are my two favorite ones, there are so many though.
It's hard to think of them all.

I have never seen anything quite so nice as Steve Bloom with his shots of animals. Look at some of these, the bird shots just blow my mind!

Steve Bloom has some nice work. I especially like the shot of the bears and the bald eagle's eye. Very detailed, and very emotional, I think. He has some great pieces.

I would have to add Margaret Bourke-White to this list. Read below:
DESCRIPTION OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Margaret Bourke-White is a woman of many firsts. She was a forerunner in the newly emerging field of photojournalism, and was the first female to be hired as such. She was the first photographer for Fortune magazine, in 1929. In 1930, she was the first Western photographer allowed into the Soviet Union.

The late Galen Rowell who was a National Geographic and Popular Photography magazine photographer/ writer is one of my favorites. I met him and his wife Barbara while I was photographing a mountain lake on a sunny morning after an overnight snow storm blanketed one of my favorite fishing lakes in the Bishop Basin in California.

A great photo begins in the mind not in a camera lens. |

Garry Winogrand - American street photographer - most of his work that I have seen was done in black and white and captured with small Leica rangefinder cameras.

I have to say Andy Rouse's photos are quite stunning. If you haven't seen them you definatly should. I have also recently discovered Laurie Cambell who scottish pictures appeal to me a lot.(I suppose it helps when I'm scottish as well). They are both great photographers though.

Another vote here for Andy Rouse, a brilliant photographer.
I like how he gets his photographs with the camera, with minimum photoshop adjustment.

I am not much for exalting photographers who have a name, equipment and friends in high places, I prefer to look up to ordinary people who have to struggle to buy a new lens etc. So the photographers I look up to and get insperation from are some of the members of MyShots, and my friend Les, Who I shall try to persuade to join MyShots, his work is brilliant.

After reading all of the input on this matter, I have to say that Roy Lewis (MANROY) has said it best. Very best to everyone that is here on MYSHOTS.com and keep up the great work.
