14 Photography Masters
Since the very beginning of Abduzeedo, our team has been bringing cool photography inspiration for you. We've featured many awesome photographers, from the ones with innovative techniques to oldschool guys, and all that. And today we've made a list. We love lists. :)
From classic Alberto Korda to hyped Dave Hill, our list actually ins't that long, but we've tried to remember the photographers that inspired us in some way... and at the end, the magic number was 14. Of course there are more photo masters out there, and we wish to hear from you. Do you know a Photography Master we've missed? Drop a comment! Hope you all enjoy our selection! Cheers! ;)

I would hardly call cut and pasted daisies a stroke of a "master"
Work of inspiration. And yes I agree with my friend Dainis Graveris, i.e, you missed David Hamilton. He is a genius too. Anyway keep up the good work going.

'Masters' is a pretty heavy term. I know one of these guys personally and while talented, he wouldn't call himself a master. And I don't know Joey L, but I do know he's something like 20 years old and definitely does not quality as a master of anything. I agree with some of the comments above, these are more exercises in photoshop than in photography, but this blog is more about Photoshop, so I guess it makes sense.
Awesome. Nick Brewer has good anti-gravity shots
STUNNING!!!!!!!!
What about anyone from VII photo? Dahl-Wolfe, Ansel Adams, Dave Duncan, Furuya, Lartigue McCullin, Friedlander, Felix Man, Henri-fucking-Cartier-Bresson? The "Decisive Moment"?!!!!? Jesus fucking Christ.
Wonderful photographs! Very inspirations.
Thank you!
WoW, fantastic selection!
Some good choices. Here are some for the future perhaps.

Keep up the good work!
Whow, great photos! i'm speechless.
Great list. I discovered Paul Armstrong some time ago on Flickr. Forgot to bookmark him, wasn't able to visit him again. Now your list is like a gift to me. Thanks for bringing him back. Respect to the rest on the list.
Cool collection of photos. The wolves and prey looks scary,
and the computer geeks are slick.
thanks from tony
Very nice collection of photographers. Pouya is a photo god.

These photographs are ok, I wouldn't necessarily say they are all photography masters. Check out Robert and Shana Parkeharrison.
Not a one on my list....
This is it does not get any better...
the vast majority are well and truly over-manipulated.
photoshop and it's ilk has a lot to answer for by making people believe that a well manipulated photograph was of any consequence in the first place.
you can probably take any photo nowadays and with a little knowledge and the right plugin make it look interesting.
if you ran this under the heading 14 master manipulators i'd be more inclined to say great!
Very nice shots.
Wonderful photographs! Very inspirations.
Thank you!
hey you people forgot about the best ever, Estevan Oriol
KEEP UP WITH THIS PHOTOGRAPHY INSPIRATION!!! Really cool tips and data!!
Cool
it's hard to shoot digital without passing it through imaging software...
for that matter, these talents really are masters!
Joey Lawrence as in the guy from Blossom? That last pic in his set was really nice. I think I'm partial to Pouya Dianat, whose work stood out the most.
Wow, now those are without doubt some truly amazing photos.

Soooo beautiful list.. that's why I became a designer - Dave Hill is my favorite artist..:)
You missed David Hamilton http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hamilton_(photographer)
He was the first one who started with that blurred photos..

Every picture of this girl looks really interesting.
Crappy timing for a post like this, got a freaking exam coming up haha, some great stuff over there tho i must say that some of these photographers have a very unique style, there are a lot of "unkown" photographers that preform really well, whats the diff between them and these? The true fact is that they are juts not well know or famous if you will....
But some nice inspiration over here..
Thanks
