It has long been going to place in the ribbon history of life and success of the most famous in the past photographers. Actually, it was this theme that I wanted to start keeping our topics.
Recently, we often think about what we all do (refer to both our professional activities and our hobbies) is some kind of pshik, which is unlikely to ever change something in the lives of current and future generations . Those. The question is WHAT same all the same such self-realization (Including in photoslene?!)

Elliott Erwitt (Elliott Erwitt)- The legend of the global photograph, became famous as the most talented author of black and white pictures. His works: living, emotional, with a sense of humor and deep meaning, conquered the public of many countries. The uniqueness of the photographer's technology is the ability to see Ironia in the surrounding world. He did not like staged frames, did not use retouching and worked only with film devices. All that ever removed Ervite is genuine reality, the eyes of an optimist.

"I want images to be emotional. Little else interests me in the photo »Elliott Ervitt

Arnold Newman (ARNOLD NEWMAN.) I dedicated photographs without a small seventy years of life, not stopping to work almost until the death of the death: "We and Angled (Newman talks about his wife - A.V.) are busy and active than ever," said the photographer in 2002, "today I am working again on new ideas, books, travel - it never to end and thank God. " In this, he was mistaken - on June 6, 2006 it was not - a sudden stop of the heart. As if this diagnosis, he once said: "We do photos not cameras. We make them our hearts. "

« I think today's generation has one problem. It is so passionate about the subject matter that forgets about the photograph itself. Forgets to create images, as Cartier Bresson or Salgado do, the two of the greatest of ever lived photographers working in a 35 mm format. To create a photo, they can use any topic whatever it is. They really create a photo from which you get pleasure, great pleasure. And now, every time - the same thing: two in bed, someone with a needle in hand or something like this, "lifestyles" or nightclubs. You look at such and in a week you start to forget, in two weeks - you can not remember any. But after all, the photo can be considered interesting when she places to us consciousness» Arnold Newman

Alfred Stieglitz (Alfred Stieglitz)

If you believe the "British" encyclopedia, Alfred Stiglitz (Alfred Stieglitz.) "Almost alone pushed his country into the world of the art of the XX century." It was the stiglis who became the first photographer whose works were awarded the museum status. From the very beginning of his career, the photographer stiglis faced with a dismissive attitude to the photo from the art elite: "Artists, who showed his early photos, said that they were jealous of me; That my photos are better than their paintings, but, unfortunately, the photo is not art. I could not understand how you can simultaneously admire work and reject it as non-homework, as you can put my works above only on the grounds that they are made by hand, "stiglis was outraged. He could not accept such a state of affairs: "Then I started fighting ... For recognition of photographs with a new means of expression, so that it was equalized in rights with any other forms of artistic creativity."

« I want to draw your attention to the most popular error about the photo - the term "professional" is used for successful, by the general opinion, photos, the term "amateur" - for unsuccessful. But almost all the great photos are made - and always done - those who followed the photos in the name of love - and in no way in the name of the progress. The term "amateur" just implies a person working in the name of love, so that the erroneousness of the generally accepted classification is obvious. "Alfred Stiglitz

Perhaps it is difficult to find in the history of world photography Personality more controversial, tragic, so unlike anyone else than Diana Arbus (Diane Arbus). She will be careful and cursed, someone imites her, someone is trying to avoid this with all the might. Some may consider her photos for hours, others try to quickly slam the album. Obviously one thing is the work of Diana Arbusmalo whom leaves indifferent. In her life, her photographs, her death was nothing irrelevant or banal.

Unusual talent Yusuf Karsh (Yousuf Karsh)as a portrait photographer made their business: he was - and remains one of the most famous photographers of all times and peoples. His books disagree with huge circulations, exhibitions of his photographs are held around the world, his work is included in the permanent collections of leading museums. Karsh had a great influence on many photoportrets, especially in 1940-1950. Some critics argue that he often idealizes the character, imposes its own philosophy, tells himself more about himself than portly. However, no one denies that his portraits are made with extraordinary skill and the inner world - a model or photographer - providing chants on the viewer. He received many awards, premiums, honorary titles, and in 2000 "Guinness Book of Records called Yusuf Karsha The most outstanding master of portrait photography.

« If, looking at my portraits, you will learn about people who shown on them something more significant if they help you understand your feelings about someone, whose work left a trace in your brain - if you take a look at the photo and say: " Yes, this is he "And at the same time learn about a person something new - it means it is really a good portrait» Yusuf Karscha

Man Ray MAN C began his photographer's career constantly experimented with new technical techniques. In 1922, he re-opened a method for creating photographic images without a camera. Another discovery of the photographer, also known long before it, but was practically not used, there was a solarization - an interesting effect, which is obtained by re-exposure of the negative. It turned to the artistic technique, as a result of which ordinary subjects, faces, parts of the body were transformed into fantastic and mysterious images.

"There will always be people who look only for execution techniques - the main question" how ", while others, more inquisitive, are interested in" why. " For me personally, an inspiring idea always meant more than other information "Man Ray

Steve McCurry (Steve McCurry)

Steve McCarry (Steve McCurry.) It has an amazing ability to always (at least much more often than it follows from the theory of probability) to be held at the right time in the right place. It is amazingly lucky - the truth here should be remembered that luck for a photojournalist is usually the misfortune of other people or even the whole peoples. More than prestigious education helped Steve in the profession of photojournalist - he paved his way to the heights of skill with trial and mistakes, trying to learn from his predecessors as far as possible.

"The most important thing is to be extremely attentive to a person, serious and consistent in his intentions, it is then the picture will be the most sincere. I love to watch people very much. It seems to me that the person's face can sometimes tell a lot. Each of my photos is not just an episode of life, it is her quintessence, his whole story. "Steve McCarry

In addition to the photograph, Mili was fond of cinema: In 1945, his film "Jammin 'The Blues" about the famous musicians of 1930-1940 was nominated for the Oscar Prize.

"Time and in fact you can stop"Geen Mile.

Andre Kertsh Known as the founder of surrealism in the photo. His unconventional perspectives, for the time, and not the desire to revise the position in the style of their work very much prevented him at the beginning of a career to achieve wide recognition. But he was recognized during life and is still considered one of the outstanding photographers standing at the origins of photojournalist, if not the photos in general. " We are all very much obliged to him» - Cartier Bressonabout Andre Kerteshe.

« I do not fit and do not seek, I watch some scene and know that there is perfection in it, even if I should move away to get the right light. In my work, a moment dominates. I take off as I feel. Everyone can look, but not everyone knows how to see. » Andre Kertsh

Richard Avedon (Richard Avedon)

It is difficult to find a celebrity that did not pose Richard Avedonu. Among his models, Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, Nastasya Kinski, Audrey Hepburn and many other stars.

Avedon style is easy to learn on black and white color, blindingly white background, close-up portrait. In portraits, he managed to turn people into "symbols themselves".

The second, "Peter Lindbergh: Images of Women", a collection of photographer's work from the mid-80s Before the mid-90s, came out in 1997.

View from the window on Le Gras, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, Circa 1826

Photo: 100photos.time.com.

Joseph Nisefor Nieps for the first time (in 1820) found a way to secure the image obtained in the chamber-obscura, using asphalt lacquer as a photosensitive substance. This process was called "Helography" to them (translated from Greek - "drawn by light").

In 1826, with the help of light rays, he received a copy of the engraving, thereby putting the beginning of the reproduction technique. In the same 1826, Nieps sent the workshop camera from the window to the roofs of neighboring buildings and received, albeit a vague, but fixed light pattern.

It is unlikely that the photo received can be called successful. But its dignity is determined by non-sharpness of the image, but a completely different criterion: a sequence number. She is the first. The first photo in the world. And in this sense not only is successful, but absolutely invaluable. And how is everything first - doomed to eternal life.

Joseph Nieps himself, as he believed to all the great inventors, died in poverty.

Victory Day over Japan on Times Square, Alfred Eisenstaedt, 1945

Photo: 100photos.time.com.

The most famous kiss in the world was removed by Albert Eysenstadt on Times Square during the celebration of the Victory Day over Japan on August 14, 1945. In the course of crowded noisy guises, Eisenstadt did not have time to ask the names of the heroes of the picture, and therefore they remained unknown for a long time. Only in 1980 it was possible to establish that the nurse in the photo was Shane. But the name of the sailor is still a mystery - 11 people stated that they were, but could not prove it.

This is what Eisenstadt told about the moment of shooting: "I saw a sailor running down the street and grabs any girl who was in the field of his view. Whether she was an old woman or young, thicker or thin, he was without a difference. I fled to him with my "watering" looking back over my shoulder, but I didn't like one photo. Then suddenly I saw how he grabbed someone in white. I turned around and removed the moment when the sailor kissed the nurse. If she had been dressed in the dark, I would never take a picture of them. Like if the sailor was in white uniform. I made 4 photos in a few seconds, but only one satisfied me. "

Margaret Burk-White received a rare opportunity to make photos of Mahatma Gandhi, the ideological leader of India and one of the most famous and sublime personalities of the XX century.

Burke-White had to be carefully prepared for a photo shoot, since Gandhi was very meticulous: he did not like the bright light, so good lighting was unacceptable, and it was impossible to speak with him (it was his day silence). In addition, she had to learn to directly with the wheel before making photos. She overcame all these tests and obstacles without hesitation.

In the process of obtaining this immortal photograph, Mahatma Gandhi Burk-White suffered a number of failures. She had technical difficulties and during the first, and during the second attempt: one flash light was spoiled, and another frame turned out to be empty, because she forgot to insert a plate into the chamber.

But despite the wet Indian climate at this time, and overcoming bad well-being, she retained calm, and her third attempt was successful. Margaret was victoriously retired with this wonderful photo of Gandhi and his spinning wheel.

This significant shot has become one of his best portraits, easily recognizable all over the world. In less than two years he was killed. This portrait of Burk-White perpetuated the image of Mahatma Gandhi for the whole world.

In general, ratings are not grateful and very subjective. Summing up the best of the best in rating lists, we still use some kind of inner charter. We also decided to make your own rating list of the 10 greatest Soviet photographers, according to the site.

Immediately, we note that several photographers will be present in the list, which worked long before the formation of the Union of Soviets, however, their influence on the development of photographs, both Soviet and world, is so great that they simply can not be said about them. And also, given the subjectivity of this list, we tried to reflect the brightest representatives in each individual photographic genre.

The first place of our rating is undoubtedly belonging. This is the greatest figure of culture and art. Its influence on the development of Soviet art is impossible to overestimate. He concentrated on himself all the visual art of the young Soviest countries - was both a sculptor, and artist, and a graphic designer, and a photographer. It is considered one of the founders of constructivism. Rodchenko is a universal and multifaceted figure. He became an effective impulse for the development of photography and design. Its methods of constructive construction photos are used as canons.

In the second position, the Russian photographer of the beginning of the 20th century is located - Georgy Goyningen-Gune. Despite the fact that all his professional life and the activities of George spent in France, England and the United States, but still, by origin, he is Russian. And in this case, it serves as an example, how the immigrants from Russia achieved recognition and success abroad. George is one of the greatest fashion photographers of the 20s and 30s. By 1925, becoming the chief photographer of French Vogue. In 1935 - American Harper`s Bazaar. In 1943 - two of his books come out, after which all its photographic attention is concentrated on Hollywood celebrities.

The contribution of Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky in the development of photographic art is great. The Prokudin-Gorsky was a chemist and photographer, and the class of one helped to improve - the second. He entered the story as the first experimenter, who proposed the possibility of creating color photography in Russia. The method of gaining the color of the color, which was used by Prokudin-Gorsky, was not new. His back in 1855 suggested James Maxwell, he included the imposition of three negatives, where everyone is passed through a filter of a certain color - red, green and blue. Three these negativity overlapping each other, the projection gives a color image. Today, thanks to the Prokudin-Gorsky, we have the opportunity to see Russia early 20th century in color.

It continues to our dozen great - the Soviet military photographer, the author of the two greatest, sign photos of the Great Patriotic War - "First Day of War" and "Banner Over Reichstag" - Evgeny Khalday. As a military photographer, Chaldems passed all the great domestic, and his most significant work was made in the period from 1941 to 1946. Haldea's photos are filled with a sense of historical importance. It is no secret that many works of the photographer, including the work "Banner over Reichstag" were staged. Chaldell believed that the photo should most fully transfer the spirit of time and events, because the hurry was for nothing. To create every work, the author approached responsibly and thoroughly.

Our list of classic photographic journalism continues - Boris Ignatovich. Ignatovich was a close friend and companion Alexander Rodchenko, together with which at the end of the 20s organized a photographic association "October". It was the time of aspiration and search for new forms. Creative people, as a rule, fruitfully engaged in several directions at the same time. So Ignatovich was both a photographer, and a photoconductor, and a documentary in the cinema, and a journalist, and an illustrator.

Next follows the greatest Soviet photoportist -. Nadrebaum entered the history of photography as an unsurpassed studio photographer portraitist. Nadrebaum - a master of composite solution, surprisingly and originally approached the light composition, at which, all the attention of the viewer accumulates on portrait. As in the case of C, through the studio of which all foreign celebrities of the 20th century, and through the lens, the greatest representatives of the country of the Soviets were held, right up to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Nadrebaum enjoyed the great success and popularity of a good photographer. It is noteworthy that it was his invite to take a picture of the death of the Great Russian poet - Sergey Yesenin.

It continues our dozen great Soviet photographers The first Russian photographer-landscape player - Vasily Sotornov. One of the first landscape players who captured the beauty of the Russian nature on the camera, and first of all the Crimea, there was an artist, education, and a photographer, by vocation - Vasily Sokornon. Sokornnova's work was greatly popular with the photographer. Just like the work that all his life photographed the nature of Virginia, the work of Sokornnov, in the main mass, is devoted to the Crimea. They were printed in magazines and postcards flew throughout Russia. Today it is considered the main chronicler of the Crimean nature of the first decades of the 20th century.

The founder of the Russian, Soviet journalistic, social photography - Maxim Dmitriev, occupies the eighth position of our rating. Dmitrieva's life and creativity is the story of an incredible take-off and the same incredible fall. The leaving of the Tambov province, the disciple of the church-parish school, by the beginning of the 1900s, Dmitriev becomes the leading photographer of Moscow. The founder of the photographer, through which the leading people take place - Ivan Bunin, Fedr Shalyapin, Maxim Gorky. But we love and remember Dmitrieva for his chronicle photos of the Volga region. In them, the original and life and linking of Russia focuses, skillfully launched in a brilliant photographer. Dmitrieva's fall was the coming to power of the Bolsheviks and widespread delegation. By the beginning of the 30s, the photographer of the artist was selected, together with more than seven thousand magnificent local lore photos.
