Photographer Tyler Mitchell’s subjects, be they models or everyday people, are effortlessly cool, like only cool 19-year-olds know how to be.
Photographers I Love: Gordon Parks
Photographer, filmmaker, writer, musician… Gordon Parks was a true Renaissance man and led an extraordinary life!
Photographers I Love: Tim Walker
I find Tim Walker’s images eminently British, referencing old-world grandeur and fairytales. I think the world can use more of those, don’t you?
Photographers I Love: Ruth Bernhard
Ruth Bernhard was left free to become who she wanted to be, and create the images she wanted to see, a rare thing in her time.
Photographers I Love: Sally Mann
Sally Mann’s images are beautiful while also raising questions. Your reaction to them will depend on your degree of comfort with the uncomfortable.
Photographers I Love: Philip-Lorca diCorcia
I first discovered Philip-Lorca diCorcia through his fashion editorial for W Magazine. His fashion series lead me to his fine-art work, which only deepened my love for him.
Photographers I Love: Martin Schoeller
Watching Martin Schoeller work on set made me understand what it meant to be a great portrait photographer.
Photographers I Love: Peter Beard
Handsome, talented, fearless, both a socialite and an adventurer… photographer Peter Beard was the Hemingway of photography.
Photographers I Love: Prince Gyasi
Photographer Prince Gyasi shoots with a cell phone (!!), proof yet again that talent has nothing to do with equipment.
Photographers I Love: William Eggleston
William Eggleston is credited with making color photography a legitimate art form. To understand this, we need to put him back in his historical context, the late 1960s.
