It has been said that versatility is not always such a great thing in that it implies, "jack of all trades; master of none". The contradiction to that statement is nowhere more evident than that of Jeanloup Sieff's work. He worked for the Magnum Agency and was known as a photographer of fashion, portraits, dance, nudes, landscapes, reportage, erotica, and of course, derrieres, for which he devoted an entire book. He was a master of all these realms. Click here to see his official website.
Andres de Dienes, while best known for his glamour portraits of Hollywood legends and in particular, his photographs of Marilyn Monroe, is even better considered for his overall diverse abilities. He shot reportage such as his series on the street life of Harlem and he was a pioneer in the area of photo montage. His vision carried through to all things ... even a pear was portrayed as sensuous and with seductive wiles.
