The High Five:

Steichen (for Sessionist work, bringing Europe to America, US Navy War Dept.,
fa$hion, and MOMA)
Paul Strand (for strangling Pictorialism with straight photography)
Irving Penn (a granddaddy influence in the latter half of the 20th century)
Harold Edgerton (for that electronic flash thingy)
Ansel Adams (for all the zones and clones and drones)

Of course my five favorites (today) form a different list, but that's a
different question:

Steichen
George Seeley
Edward Weston
Francesca Woodman
Josef Sudek
