Only in 20th-century photography took a dominant position in glossy magazines. Today, digital photography is available to everyone, but this does not mean in any way that anyone with a camera can make masterpieces of photography. In any case, you need talent, as well as theory and practice, multiplied by time and patience.
Thanks to these qualities, the best photographers give us many great photos, and here we will try to talk about some of them.
Mick Rock
Mick Rock is a photographer with the last name that explains a lot. This man took pictures of all the iconic rock musicians and even appeared as a staff photographer for David Bowie himself. Mick Rock shot the seventies and their heroes. In journalistic circles, he was considered the person who managed to do this most fully.

Sally Mann
Sally Mann has been involved in photography in the southern United States for many years, preferring to work only in the summer, and completely devote the rest of the months to the development of shots. She became famous for her black and white photographs, especially family portraits. Simple stories from life away from the bustle of the city, independence from social rules are the main motives of the work.
Annie Leibovitz
Annie Leibovitz’s incredibly atmospheric and powerful photographs first appeared in the 1970s in Rolling Stone magazine. Works of this level could not go unnoticed. Annie became the star of the publication and later began shooting for Vanity Fair and Vogue. Now her works can be seen in national museums and galleries around the world.
Patrick Demarchelier
The most famous fashion photographer who made the fashion genre more complex and sophisticated. Thanks to Patrick, photographs in fashion magazines have become less glamorous and pompous. He made perhaps the most famous photo of Princess Diana.
