In the classroom the teacher and Victoria discuss
Diane Arbus,
Robert Frank (and his beat writer friend
Jack Kerouac),
Louis Daguerre (plus
daguerreotypes) and
Robert Cornelius. In the classroom still, you can examine the books and Max will reference The Decisive Moment by
Henri Cartier-Bresson,
Annie Leibovitz,
Eugene Smith and
Richard Avedon (to whom Victoria is compared by Max). Outside the school if you talk to the portfolio kid whose name i can't remember, he asks Max who took
The Falling Soldier. The options are
Robert Capa,
Robert Doisneau (the texture for the books has one with "Doisneau" written on the spine, Max doesn't actually note that on the classroom, but does so in her room),
Eugene Smith and
Steve McCurry. In Max's Dorm room, there are few new names. She has books from Bresson, Doisneau, and who i imagine to be
David Hamilton? I can't think of any other Hamilton, but maybe my brain is failing. Image searching David Hamilton is NOT sfw and you coworkers will think you are a pedophile if they catch you. So don't. Next to her laptop, when she examines the book she'll reference
Philip-Lorca diCorcia and
Julia Margaret Cameron. I think that is all.
It's a strange mishmash of very different people, and not really representative of classics or masters as it the characters seem to claim. But it is a broad list that touches on very different schools of photography. Also the rangefinder camera model that is almost everywhere seems to be a facsimile of the silver Leica M9, except with a blue rather than red dot.
