I have got a lot of respect to him, I have so much to learn from him, not just the photographic techniques but the bravery, the motivation and responsibility as a photo journalist.
Nice thread by the way.
I also like Zalmaï Ahad, mainly because of his album "Return, Afghanistan". His photos give me a sense of "Impression of Reality".

One more, Bryan Carnathan! He simply is a fantastic photographer who have been giving greatly helpful ideas and opinions to all of us here and runs the most informative Canon gear review site ever - The Digital Picture. Thanks to Bryan!

I have several that I cannot choose from.
I think Helen Levitt, a pioneer in street photography and friend of Henri Cartier Bresson, is my favorite photographer. Her work makes me feel good. The use of color and composition (color in later work only) is phenomenal. It's visual poetry and it makes me smile. She passed away recently but her legacy is breathtaking.
Richard Avedon, portrait and fashion photographer, is also one of my favorites. His fashion photographs are fantastic but it's his portraits of the American West that never cease to amaze me. They're so real and so stripped and so fascinating.
Guy Bourdin, a French fashion photographer for Vogue (amongst others), is my personal hero. His work was ground breaking and his influence on magazine and fashion photography can be felt to this very day.
Other names that come to mind (in no particular order) are Diane Arbus, Mary Ellen Mark, Patrick Demarchelier, James Nachtwey, Mario Testino, Helmut Newton, Steven Klein, David Slijper, Henri Cartier Bresson, Garry Winogrand, Matthew Rolston and Nick Knight.
They all come from various periods and fields of photography from documentary and portraits to fashion and celebrities.
