But I still need more votes.. comon! ;)
I would add to that list:
Don McCullin - for his coverage of various conflicts, trouble-spots and the gritty side of life
Larry Burrows - coverage of the Vietnam War
Joe Cornish - British landscape photographer
Don McMullin although very good some of his work disturbs me... Guess its something inside that doesnt want to believe that some of that stuff exists Design News - After Image: Social Documentary Photography in the ::

What? Not one vote for Thomas D. Mangelsen yet? This guys stuff is amazing.
Add him, and throw in a vote for Ansel Adams from me.
How about:
Paul Strand
Edward Weston
Emogene Cunningham
I would also add to that:
Arnold Newman
Annie Lebowitz
Herb Ritts
And Edward Weston is one of my favorites.
I'm shocked I thought I was the only one who even knew who he was any more....
And the pepper series is not high class porn... lol
then the wpa photographers in totality
Not to complicate things further, but you missed one of the most influencial photographers in the last century, Ernst Haas.
I would also put James Natchwey on that list.
My top votes would go for Ansel Adams, Haas, Natchwey, and Bourke-White, not neccessarily in order of importance.
Updated!
Well, I would like to have a list of the best 20 photographers not a list of the best 100! :D And if you find a photographer in the list that is one of them vote on him again so we ll get a good selection in the end.
Thanks for your help.
maplethorpe- he has some uhh risque stuff but his flowers are awesome :P
I vote for Henri Cartier-Bresson. Steve McCurry, too.
What? Not one vote for Thomas D. Mangelsen yet? This guys stuff is amazing.
Add him, and throw in a vote for Ansel Adams from me.

Proud to say that I have met Mangelsen on numerous occasions. Cool dude. Not a fan of his work.
Anyway. I do not envy your multimedia presentation. That is a lot of ground to cover. Of course the presentation goes much deeper than a popularity contest. All the photographers on the list represent photography in the 20th Century. As a matter of fact you could probably throw 15 darts at the list and still come out with a comprehensive display of work. As always the main thing will be the photographs and your text.
If we could edit the list... Add the incomparable Craig Blank and maybe the incomparable Jay Maisel (my hero). Take out has beens' like Steiglitz, Adams and Bresson and add JeffCanes, Danalec99, and Corey17.

Matt Needham
Daniel Colvin
Charles M GurkinYou missed Jeff Canes. ;)
as we can see here, there is no definite list of the best 20 ... there were many good and outstanding ones, each of the the best or one of the best for his/her type of photography/subjects. you can certainly make a list with 100 extremely good photographers/photoartists, but to say 20 of them are the best will always be very much subject to personal taste.Exactly. The said names are giants in their respective areas.
All we need now is a set of darts.

I don't see Lewis Hine anywhere on this page. Well he is now. :) Also I'm thinking the FSA's photogs should be represented... Lange and Evans maybe.
oh my god... almost 50!

I was thinking about an aplication with different sections. I have few time to do it so I cant talk about 100 photohraphers. I ll make a small section where I ll write personal texts for 15/20 photographers and make a small photo gallery for each one. Then I ll make a huge gallery with photos of the other photographers that i havent talk on the small section... and a text about photography, a text about Ludwig Museum of Cologne... ;)
