I& #39;ve been meaning to post a thread of great photographer portraits by great photographers.
A great start, I think: a young Henri Cartier-Bresson, by George Hoyningen-Huene, 1935. HCB was 27; GHH was 35.

Lillian Bassman, according to Richard Avedon, "made visible that heartbreaking invisible place between the appearance and the disappearance of things."

Jeanloup Sieff by Frank Horvat
Paris, 1959
FH: But do you recognize the good photo at the moment of shooting it?
JS: Rarely. Sometimes I feel it happening, it’s like hearing a tiny noise. But not often.

... Dennis Stock comes out from behind the camera. Stock was working at the time as an assistant for Gjon Mili.
When photographer Dennis Stock visited his friend Willy Ronis at his home in L& #39;Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, March 14, 1980, he told him that Andreas Feininger& #39;s famous "The Reporter" was actually a 1951 portrait of Stock himself. Ronis brought out his Life "Camera" book & took this shot.
Dennis Stock
Henri Cartier Bresson with his trusty Leica Rangefinder, with a 50 mm. lens, 1961. He took most of the shots in a lifetime of work with this model

A "portrait impromptu" of Robert Capa by Willy Ronis. The two met in Switzerland, "on the slopes of Mont-Joux", in 1939, & took each other& #39;s pictures. When Ronis heard of Capa& #39;s death in 1954 he tracked down this negative.

Another Willy Ronis portrait of a great photographer: Izis, 1958. When Izis read Ronis& #39;s story in Photorama about the beauties of Gordes in Provence, he asked Ronis to find him a house there. This shot was taken in Gordes, six months before Izis found his own place in the south.
Another great photographer by Willy Ronis.
Brassaï at his office, 16 Rue du Saint-Gothard, Paris, 1981
The two old friends hadn& #39;t seen each other since 1972. Ronis called this "a souvenir photo, quickly made a few minutes before leaving him, in the daylight of his office."

In 1979 Photo Journal did a story on photographer Willy Ronis. Martine Franck was commissioned to take a portrait for the article. "We go to the Tuileries", said Ronis, "where I will suffer what I generally inflict on others."

"I am always perplexed when people say that a photograph has captured someone. A photo is just a piece of them in a moment. It seems presumptuous to think you can get more than that."

Also from John Loengard& #39;s Age of Silver, this lovely shot of Cornell Capa. Behind him is a famous portrait of his older brother Robert, taken in 1952 by Ruth Orkin. Coincidentally, I included that shot a few posts ago in this thread of great photographers by great photographers.
