Which famous photographer?
Here’s a fun quiz titled; “Which famous photographer are you?” It’s been around for a while but if you haven’t seen it yet and you love photography - take the quiz! Most results I’ve seen peg people as Ansel Adams types and I expected mine would be the same but we can’t all be like him. Even though he’s influenced many of us, some have to be different.
Here’s my results:
| Which famous photographer are you?
Henri Cartier-Bresson: Known for street photography and photojournalism “We are passive onlookers in a world that moves perpetually. Our only moment of creation is that 1/125th of a second when the shutter clicks, the signal is given, and motion is stopped…”

For those of you who are not familiar with Henri Cartier-Bresson you can view some of his wonderful photographs from the Tete a Tete Exhibit. This photographer, born in France, is considered the father of modern photojournalism and the master of candid photography. He traveled all over the world with his Leica rangefinders and photographed many historic events. He was also one of the co-founders of Magnum Photos. See Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson to learn more about him and his work.
Though I’ve never thought of myself as being a photojournalist, it does spark a new interest in my photography. I love photographing people and taking candid shots. You can bet that I’ll be researching more about photojournalism and Henri Cartier-Bresson in the coming months.
If you take this quiz, I’d love to hear about your results and thoughts on the photographer you’re most like. Do you agree? Disagree?
Ansel Adams was my match. The choices are a little limited so if you lean at all to nature then they match you to Ansel even if you don’t shoot landscapes, use a large format or live in the West.
Yes, I’ve noticed that same thing. If you like shooting candids of people than your matched to HCB. I kind of wish the quiz was more extensive. Thanks for sharing your results with me.
Ha ha! It said I am Hemut Newton!
I’m not so sure about that… but I guess it was the fashion questions that threw me in that direction. : )
Well a female Hemut Newton who likes to photograph dogs could yield some very interesting pictures, don’t you think?
hmmmm I’m Ansel Adams…don’t I wish! But I do love nature and landscapes.
Yes, Pam and you have made some excellent nature photographs. I’m dying to see some you’ve done lately!
