The only couple I can think of, who actually collaborate, are Bernd Becher and Hilla Becher.

Meaning they credit all photos as a couple.

The ParkeHarrisons!

Dora Maar hung with that Piacsso dude. While he wasn't a photographer per se many photogs were (and still are) influenced by his philosophy.

Great book about their milieu in Montparnasse in 1920's and 30's:

(Full disclosure: my wife and I worked on this, assisting the authors with editing, etc.)

The ParkeHarrisons!


Really interesting photos, thanks for that! I had not heard of them before.

Their format reminds me of old pictorialist photography, although of course the subjects do not.

If you like this, I wonder if you might not also enjoy the photographers in Shots Magazine? One of my favorite reads:

And no, there are no ren faires in it.

Their volcano images of a few years back are quite wonderful too.

@Jay Peg, who took those? They look like Trent Parke but in color, I assume those are his wifes? (Again, assuming "Autio" is his wife)

Charles & Ray Eames - their films were nothing short of incredible, especially Powers Of Ten (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2cmlhfdxuY&feature=fvw) and the instructional film they made for the Polaroid SX-70 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EdwmaQltHc) (which includes brilliant images from said camera taken by C&R).

Cindy Sherman and David ByrneHuh. The most recent thing I could find is a couple years old. If she's no longer hooked up with him (he hasn't done anything since Phychokiller in my book, so ...) I'd like to get a shot at her, I've been a fan forever, and I am really curious as to what she looks like!

Chris, the last I saw, they are still dating. But I don't know how reliable that is. It is hard to find good info on Sherman, she keeps to herself.

Byrne is a really good photographer, too.

There is a brief video on my blog about a show Sherman did last year- some really cool portraits of upper society women, and of course, she used herself as the model.

You know, it is hard to believe that she is 54 years old now.

Cartier-Bresson and Martine Franck

Bresson and Leica? ;) (at least I have a platonic love relationship with my camera)

Hey, I'm single. Any women photographers/artists out there looking for their Steiglitz? haha. sigh.

Gerda Taro and Robert Capa otherwise known as Gerta Pohorylle and Endre Ernő Friedmann are my two faves. No need to guess why they changed their names! Capa is a bit of a hero of mine as my father was also Hungarian Jewish (and a bit of a scallywag like Capa.)

This is a great thread. I'd never heard of Martine Franck before this thread and I just googled her images and wow.

I can see why they were together.

Randy Olsen and Melissa Farlow. Both are freelancers for National Geographic. Randy is the only person to win both "Magazine Photographer of the Year" and "Newspaper Photographer of the Year". Melissa was on the staff of the Louisville Courier Journal when the photo staff was awarded a Pulitzer for their coverage of school busing back in the 70's.

I thought the thread was about FAMOUS couples - some of the names being put forward now are getting nondescript - to say the least! ( although they may be famous in your village! ) :rolleyes:
Dave.
P.S......so I'll reafirm my vote for Al and Monkette! :D
