Who are your favorite photographers? And what type of photographer are they? I'm interested in sharing names so that I can see the work of some of the best.

He has a knack for finding, err, interesting models and subject matter.

Yes, they're all transvestites, hideously deformed, or dead. In that way, he's kind of just another shock artist, but some of his images are really amazing anyway.

Funny you should mention Les Krims, he was my teacher. Our styles are far from similar but his expertise and eye really helped. We often disagreed and sometimes argued subject matter but his teaching and guidance and style will always stay with me. I should see if he is still teaching would be nice to brush up.
