Great Black and White Photographers - Preview

As we learn about the final step of the darkroom process: The print, we will also be learning about some of the masters of photography who worked mainly in the B&W White medium.

The thousands of hours these photographers spent in the darkroom perfecting their prints were as important to the final power of their prints as was their hard work and artistic eye when they originally shot them.

First - Preview some of the masters
Go to
http://www.masters-of-photography.com/

Click through all of the master photographers listed on the left side of the site. Look at their
photos.

Next - Choose three you like
Choose well because you will be assigned one of these photographers for a more extensive assignment.

At least two of the three must have done documentary work (candid photos of people)

On your blog - Post the names of the photographers you like and your favorite photo from each.
