Cindy Sherman is an American Photographer and film director. She was very influential in the representation of women in society. In 1995 she earned a McArthur Fellowship award. Her photos are some of the most expensive works ever sold.
I like Sherman's work. Her work is very different, but the oddness defiantly adds an aspect of originality to her work.

Man Ray (born Emmanuel Radnitzky) was an American photographer. Though he considered himself a painter, he was very influential in the Surrealist and Dada movements. He mainly focused on fashon and portrait photography.
I like Ray's work. He is a bit too surrealistic at times, but i can appreciate the weirdness.

Irving Penn was an American photographer. He mainly focused on still life, and portraits. He also was published by Vogue. His work has been internationally recognized and exhibited.
I like Penn's work. I'm usually not a fan of portrait photography, but Irving Penn is able to put his own twist, and flair into the pictures that really make them enticing.
