Who is yours? I definitely have more than one, but Arno Minkkenen's work has always spoken to me. I find his work absolutely breathtaking, and the manner in which he produces his art-- placing himself (and others) in visually stirring and completely creative positions and perspectives--is stunning to me. here's a link to some of his work:
BP Fallon was probably the one who most influenced me in the early days of my picking up a camera. Incredible ways of capturing people, he has. He does a lot of music photography, with bands such as U2, Led Zep etc.
