The Book 'Photographers Known' is the body of work Michael Somoroff made thirty-five years ago. He took it upon himself to photograph in depth his heroes and mentors, the master photographers of the twentieth century. Michael Somoroff had been introduced to their work and subsequently to the photographers themselves by his father, Ben Somoroff a successful commercial photographer.
In honor of each of these photographers mentoring Somoroff, he began a series of portraits of his heroes including Brassal, Andre Kertesz, Ralph Gibson, Arnold Newman, Helmut Newton and others. Each was caught at the quintessential moment thereby defining a period of photography that was unique. It book contains a vast array of cutting edge artists photographed formally as well as behind the scenes who informed Somoroff's art and craft. The text is written by William Ewing. The book is designed by Torn Bentkowski former Director of Design for LIFE.
