Henri Cartier-Bresson
bachelor pads london
In 1931, once out of the Army and after having read Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Cartier-Bresson sought adventure on the Côte d'Ivoire, within French colonial Africa. He survived by shooting game and selling it to local villagers. From hunting, he learned methods that he would later use in his photography techniques. It was there on the Côte d'Ivoire that he contracted blackwater fever, which nearly killed him.
Returning to France, Cartier-Bresson recuperated in Marseille in 1931 and deepened his relationship with the Surrealists. He became inspired by a 1930 photograph by Hungarian photojournalist Martin Munkacsi showing three naked young African boys, caught in near-silhouette, running into the surf of Lake Tanganyika. Titled Three Boys at Lake Tanganyika, this captured the freedom, grace and spontaneity of their movement and their joy at being alive.
Sebastião Salgado
Sebastião Salgado (born February 8, 1944) is a Brazilian social documentary photographer and photojournalist.
Salgado was born at Aimorés, Minas Gerais.
After a somewhat itinerant childhood, Salgado initially trained as an economist, earning a master’s degree in economics from the University of São Paulo in Brazil. He began work as an economist for the International Coffee Organization, often traveling to Africa on missions for the World Bank, when he first started seriously taking photographs.

Ansel Adams
Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist, best known for his black-and-white photographs of the American West, especially in Yosemite National Park. One of his most famous photographs was Moon and Half Dome, Yosemite National Park, California.
With Fred Archer, Adams developed the Zone System as a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs and the work of those he taught the system. Adams primarily used large-format cameras, despite their size, weight, setup time, and film cost, because their high resolution helped ensure sharpness in his images.
Adams founded the Group f/64 along with fellow photographers Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham, which in turn created the Museum of Modern Art's department of photography. Adams's timeless and visually stunning photographs are reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books, making his photographs widely recognizable.

Peter Lik is an Australian photographer who was born in Melbourne, of Czech immigrant parents. He is a self taught photographer who took to the medium at an early age, and is now an Australian landscape photographer. While traveling in Alaska in 1994 Peter's interest in photography took a turn and he began to experiment with panoramic cameras, previously having used 35mm cameras exclusively.
Lik started his own business when he was in his early twenties in America and was photographing locations like Yosemite National Park for postcard shoots. He would go back to the postcard companies and sell them the shots. After seeing some of the other work on the market and how his own was being used only for advertising, he decided to publish a small range of postcards himself with the money he had saved up from traveling. Lik opened his first gallery in his hometown of Cairns, Australia, which was followed almost immediately by a second in Port Douglas. He now has galleries in Noosa, Hawaii, California, Key West & Miami Florida, New York and Las Vegas, establishing his nature photography business worldwide.
