Though we often post on modern photographers, I thought I would take a look back this week at some photographers who broke new ground. The ones who took photography to daring new heights.



If you enjoy looking at Hollywood behind-the-scenes, where the director carefully directs his leading actress, where the actress lets out a hearty laugh or where the crew nervously awaits a cue, you have photographer Bob Willoughby to thank. Popular Photography called him "The man who virtually… Continue

As silly as it seems that actress Kate Hudson struts her stuff in designer dresses during the day, I can't help but like this refreshing photo shoot by Peter Lindbergh. Perhaps it's the expressions on Kate's face that I enjoy. Photographed by Peter Lindbergh, Kate seems confident, cute and even a little kooky.



Also, I like how Kate is refreshingly honest… Continue
