Excellent call, phoenix. This is probably my favourite of his, but there are so many others:

So rad.

Recently saw Martine Barrat's Harlem shots and found them beautiful, black & white, lively framed, with a delightful use of sun light.
Couldn't find much googling her name though.

Berenice Abbott did some nice things many many many years ago.

And this one that Sergio Leone must have had in mind :

Plus a big man :

I was amazed at Cindy Sherman's work too (it can be soooo funny)...

I'm also fond of Jill Greenberg's monkey portraits :

Some sexy stuff, for your eyes only...

And the ideal answer to whoever pisses you off :

piergiorgio branzi

the "classic" Bresson

Gregory Colbert can be interesting

headache can't think more, sorry.

nicfit · 01.08.2008, 08:38 AM

aah, Philippe Halsman (also becuz of the Dalì "connection")!!

but all his "celebrity portraits" are great.

screamingskull · 01.08.2008, 12:07 PM

Gus Van Sant, duh!

(from Last Days)

(from Paranoid Park)

(from My Own Private Idaho)

screamingskull · 01.08.2008, 12:08 PM

more Gus Van Sant

(all from Elephant)

screamingskull · 01.08.2008, 12:14 PM

more Gus Van Sant

(Michael Pitt, from Last Days)

(Keanu Reeves & River Phoenix, from My Own Private Idaho)

(Nicole Kidman & Joaquin Phoenix, from To Die For)

On another note, do you think Joaquin looks like River?, i can sort of see it in those two pictures.

this has the potential to become one of the best threads - some things posted, especially by nicfit, pheonix and sarramkrop, are breathtaking... i will think and post a selection of my favourites later.

this photo by bill owens

it's called: We're really happy. Our kids are healthy, we eat good food and we have a nice home.

it was taken two years before i was born, and everything about it makes me think of an imaginary couple my parents might have known and had discussions with about which organic baby food is better and the various methods for growing squash over a couple of glasses of wine...

(also... in one of the books i have with the above photo, it is next to this photo by Paul Outerridge...)

...this series of photos taken in queens in 1940 by Rudolph Burckhardt

m1rr0r dash · 01.08.2008, 02:04 PM

...for comparison, here is a picture of my family around this time ( a couple of years before i was born)

from left to right: my grandfather, my grandmother, my tia and my cousins, and my mother on the far right.
