Some photographers that are good
Rinko Kawauchi.

This girl's stuff is really lovely and she's one of my favorites. Her images are so delicate and fragile and so full of childlike wonder at the world around her. She's one of my personal favorites. Maybe not one of the greats yet, but she certainly has the potential to be.
Daido Moriyama

Definatly one of the greats. His images have no real consideration for established photography conventions. They are dripping with the dirt of the city. Out of focus, motion blurred, enlarged beyond the quality of the negative, intrusive, prying, and just general snooping of people and things in the streets.
William Eggleston

His book signing at Paris Photo had the biggest audience for any book signing at Paris Photo and for good reason. An absolute legend of colour photography who photographs the everyday and banal to spectacular effect.
Todd Hido
Wonderful images, mainly architectural images, of night scenes. Full of fog and dispersive light and modern buildings and streets and fields and everything else that you see in a Todd Hido image.
Jeff Wall

One of the most imfluental and original photographers of all time. MAking carefully staged mise-en-scenes and delayed decisive moments Wall creates unique worlds and people that only exist within the space of the frame.
Cheers.
