Including:
My personal big three: Eggleston, Gursky,[*] Crewdson.
Others who I've liked when I've encountered them but not engaged so deeply with: Candida Hofer, Jeff Wall, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Cindy Sherman (by whom I'm increasingly intrigued), Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff, Rineke Dijkstra, Richard Mosse.
Two very big names who I've never focused on, for different reasons: Annie Leibovitz and Nan Goldin.
And others either only glancingly or not at all familiar to me. Genres well represented in this category: portraits, fashion, nature, street.

Anton Corbijn, who occupies a different space in my awareness thanks to his various iconic pop music portraits, including Control.
