12.Diane Arbus

Diane Arbus(P1)(1923-1971) all of her shooting are about some freaks like dwarf(P4), transsexual(P6),giant(P5) and so on. Even the normal people she shotted are abnormal like twins(P2) or triplet(P3). She broke the rules of art of photographs. When i first saw her photos i felt uncomfortable and horror, big impact force. The reason why she shotted those photos is because born in rich family's self-abasement and looking forward to the true colors of human man and the worship of suffering. Her photographs focused us have to survey again what is normal or abnormality, fair or unfair, morality or immorality. What she shotted are punched people's heart and stood at another angle to know the world. 'A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.'she said which worth us to think about it.

10.Jean-loup Sieff

Jean-loup Sieff (P1) (1933-2000) born in Paris. His body photography made a deep impression to people. From the pictures(P2-P6) we can find that most of his works are focus on the haunch and back of model. It 's because he is very shy and failing to human relationship so that he is very shy to model when they faced to him. Meanwhile he thinks that the face is the most exposure parts of body and it was extensive use of social life so it becomes hypocrisy. So that why he is interested in the lower part of human body cause it is the most protected part of human body at the same time it is the most secret part of body. It always keeps childlike pureness.

9.Guy Bourdin

Guy Bourdin was born in Paris. Half of the oeuvre of Guy Bourdin is Black-and-white and as amazingly powerful as his work. He developed color photography to its maximum effect,creating dramatic accents with intense color saturation and textures in his compositions. His color photographs are bright color and models are wearing high-heel shoes which is delivering a mighty sense of vision pounds at dint with the feeling of strangeness and interval. His photos always full of imagination and theatrically.

8.Christian Coigny

Christian Coigny is born in Iran who likes black and white traditional shooting.

The most famous works is 《Men & Women》(P3-P6),in his opinion he thinks black and white shooting has unique flavor and its expression cannot compare with the color one. Black and white is more narrative and at the same time it has hazy and mystery. Black and white is no easy to shoot, the most of it depends to the light which is a big challenge. Christian Coigny leans to use natural light to shoot in case to destroy the sense of reality. He thinks that the photos which have been edited is changed it doesn't the photo their want at beginning. He believes that the moment he shooted is mystery cannot be changed.

7.Bob Dazzer

Bob Dazzer who is from London. He shooted a series of photographs about London underground When he was working as a projectionist in a porn cinema in Central London during the 1980s.

This series of photographs spent him about 40 years. Under his camera the underground no longer be no temperature. It can be full of love, funny, lonely, surreal, violence, serene,literature and art and so on. During his daily commute, it's creating irresistibly joyous pictures alive with humour and humanity. It doesn't lose colour because of the darkness of underground.

6. Helmut Newton

Helmut Newton(P1) is a Jewish and he born in Berlin, 1920. He likes shoot the naked famale which is on the contrary of the time. Under his camera all the models are bran-new, full of confidence, have the courage to show their body, can think independence. His style of shooting is influenced by his early experience and his family.

From most of his photographs we can find that there are black and white. That is because he is a monochromatism and he never shy away about that. P7 a woman sat at there looking him shooting is his wife(June) who also is a great photographer based on his influence. At the same tim she also was a model and participated his shooting. Soon they fell in love with each other and got marry. I am quite appreciated about the models under his camera.
