David Bailey

David Bailey was named Number 13 on the top 100 photographers of all time. Pretty good going for an East London boy. David is regarded as one of Britain's best and most loved photographers and has worked for Vogue, done loads of celebrity portraits and fashion shoots and was THE photographer of the swinging 60s.
Hopefully you'll recognize some of the faces below!

Martin Parr

Number 10 in the Top 100 Most Influential Photographer of all Time is British documentary photographer Martin Par - he's also one of my favourites too!

He is known for documenting British life and some of my favourites are Parr's work at Great British Seasides. They are garish and loud and colourful and I love 'em.

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer and is considered to be the godfather of modern street photography. He was placed number 6 in Professional Photographers' Top 100 Most Influential Photographers of all time. That's pretty good going!

Giuseppe Colarusso

 Giuseppe Colarusso’s series Improbability tests our handle on frustration offering everyday objects made almost useless. He makes rope-handled cutlery, rectangular rolling pins, one eyed sunglasses or a sink with no plug-hole look so clean, so beautiful, so convincingly real that they just should work. And matched with tag lines such as “Unlikely…but not impossible,” Colarusso winds you up that little bit more, making it seem reasonable to learn the entire hieroglyphic alphabet just so you can use his keyboard and prove the impossible wrong.
