Kirill Umrikhin

Kirill Umrikhin is the most talented and well-known action sports photographers in Russia.He tried to demonstrate the connection between extreme sports with nature,culture and the city.He likes to measure the world with his eyes.I really like his photography works.

I want to learn his brave. He mostly shoot action sports like snowboarding, skiing, skating, MTB and surfing.And he often work in the harshest weather conditions as well as underwater.I think he used the low angle and position.It can make the scenes more grand.Then,the camera need to adjust the higher shutter speed for capturing those amazing moments in sports.

Martin Parr

Martin Parr

Martin Parr is a master of documentary photography. In the past, the mainstream definition of documentary photography is to reveal the truth, observe things inside these photos. He has a lot of famous photography series, people can see the social phenomenon of our times from his photo. He likes to create fiction on life, and his work is to find the various bias of society itself, make them to a convergence. His works often brightly colored, maybe people thought at first glance is exaggerated or even ridiculous, but eventually they can see the tight-knit.They don't know from which direction of impact.They may be is the great joy, maybe also a huge emptiness, occasional have the desolate world content.

I learned some knowledge by reading his interview. A reporter asked he why he ran to the seemingly mundane, such as ebden Bridge in the beginning of his career in 70 s. Most western photographers choose to adventure in Africa and far east. The reporter asked him whether he convice that he can take good photos in there. He said that could get good stuff is just a wish. But when you concentrate on one thing at a long time enough, you can get a promotion. He completed the motivation of work in the past by a strong desire which can be close to a small group and know about them. After hearing what he said, I understand that if I want to shoot good pictures, I need to spend enough time to stop in a place.

Philippe Ramette

Philippe Ramette is a French photographer. His photography works of breaking the gravity was very famous.It was breaking the visual perception of people. 

Below is a serious of photos he created.It was the challenges of earth's gravity. These photos are totally without ps, he thought that nothing can be false. He elaborates these works of surreal with his team.In fact,they use a lot of tools for standing in these photos.When I see these photos, I always want to find out why. I need to learn his creative thinking, and how to took the creative and attractive pictures.I should look for different ways of photography.

James Nachtwey

James Nachtwey is a famous war photographer. He risked his life in the forefront of the war faithfully.And he recorded the homeless children in the disaster, the old man walkalone,the burning hut... He helped people know that what was happening in the world.

I want to learn his absolutely calm when he was taking pictures. Because he is a war photographer, he often make some very cruel and bitter scenes. For example,he often capture pictures like bereaved body was carried away in the scene and their family was crying. His restraint made him look like an ascetic, but his anger, frustration, sadness and doubt are pouring in his photos. He said in his many years of being a war photographer, he thought the most important thing he learn is how to deal with anger. We should put the anger into a energy of clear view, rather than cover our view.

Bill Rauhauser

Bill Rauhauser is a street photographer. He said a good photography works need the right place, right time, profound cultural consciousness and a little bit of luck.

By looking at his photo, I found his photos' main body interaction and independently, and the composition is clean. This is a very worthy of my study. In addition, his concentration I need to learn. Rauhauser focus on street photography for 60 years, but just because this approximate paranoid love make him still honoured at the age of 95. The second is his concentration on the style of street photography. I found his street photography works are black and white, and nearly consistent style. It is not easy to adhere one style in our whole life. I think I will confirm my photography style as soon as possible, then I want do not change my style forever.

He can capture the characters' emotions very well. Those characters in his photography are not empty and pale. In each of his photos, we can see the nature revealed  emotions of the characters in the street.

Rinko Kawauchi

Rinko Kawauchi is a Japanese photographer. Her photography works let me feel quiet and warm.She used to use a Rollei camera on a large number of flash light.It can cut the natural light and shadow.And it makes the picture more harsh.She shows daily life with softly hue.And her works show the characteristic of the plain and depression.It has a charm.

Through Rinko Kawauchi, I learned to keep curious and sensitive like children. Don't always want to take a very high level photos.We should to start with the small details of life. We can observe how ants carrying sugar, and peep the snail's world after raining. Our photos need to show the small things in everyday life, like eggs, dinner, the roadside flowers, summer watermelon, etc.

Vivian Maier

Vivian Maier's words impressed me. She said that you must keep your position for shooting strangers very close on the street.Then you need have no fear to capture the scene which you want.Because it will be your own things. Yes, it is. Every time I go out to take pictures, when I saw a stranger, I often stay far away from them, because I was afraid that they don't want me to take photos for them.

Vivian is a talented street photographer. She is extremely sensitive to light and composition of the picture. Vivian likes to use the lens of low position, perfect lighting and instantaneous subtle characters communicate with her eyes to take photos.

The another reason why I chose her is her special camera. This is my first heard about the double reverse camera. This camera can view the scene by lowering the head,and it let the photographer can hiding in the crowd.It let photographer most likely nearly close to others, and not been found.The photographer can wait the moment of unusual significance. I feel this is a great camera be designed.It is the Rollerflex double reverse camera. She gives me a a good reference for choosing camera.
