I've talked bout him before and I'll talk about him again. Ryan McGinley is the first person I immediately think of when it comes to photography. His personal work looks quite similar to the idea of a visual diary, made of portraits of friends and other groups of his generation. He skillfully captures ecstatic moments, feelings of belonging and collective emotions. What I mostly love about his photography is the variety of vivid colours that we don't usually get to see in our every day life; they create a unique atmosphere that catches the eye. His more "professional" work and projects share the same characteristics, and amaze me just as much. A must seeeeee.

Saul Leiter.
Saul Leiter had originally planned on becoming a painter when he first move to New York city, which I guess had a great influence on his photographs. I find his images being beautifully composed with, again, a smooth mix of colours (yes; obviously, i have a bit of an obsession for colours). He also plays a lot with reflections and blurs, making some of his work a bit more abstract. Furthermore, I've come to realise that none of his subject seems to ever look directly at the camera; Leiter's photographs aren't about a person or an action, but are pictures as a whole. just like a painting. Google him.

Ernst Haas
Haas' experimented a lot with color (again!) abstract light and forms. He has traveled across many countries as a member of the Magnum Photos agancy, and left a great variety of photography 'works'. I like his pictures for their deliberate out-of-focus and blurry aspects that enable us to get a much stronger sense of movement. clickclickclick
ps; i appology if my english isn't 100%accurate
The photograph by Ernst Haas is really something. I love the warmness of the color - he does a great job with motion/ panning.
