His images have a unique signature, which I appreciate. Fine work,  
not CE.

Same comment

Definitely CE technique in the 'illustrative' genre.

Similar to above. Yet with more heart and soul. CE technique
between journalism and illustration, perhaps 'editorial'
Reminiscent of 40's and 50's magazine illustration.

Fine, unique vision focused on interesting subjects.

Another fine, contemporary illustrator.

Yet another wonderful eye with unique signature.

There's definitely something else happening here.
Something very real and bit edgy in this fellows vision of the world.
Wish I could see larger images. Looks quite interesting

Wouldn't load for me

solid professional work - not much new or even feeling of signature  
for me (didn't look at everything)

> http://www.solarphotography.com

Too many to comment on - looks like some quite fresh approaches to  
commercial and editorial illustration.
A couple seem to move on to some quite interesting conceptual art.  
Need to spend some time in here.

Another fine documentarian.

I've commented on this fellow earlier

> Are they cutting edge? Are they avant-garde? Only time will tell...

Some of the technique certainly would qualify as high craft at the  
bleeding edge.
Many of the photo-illustrators could be called avant-garde illustrators.

Yet, while all the above are working at a very high, and in some  
cases the highest technical and aesthetic level;
within there genres they seem to be overlapping and having the same  
discussion.

None stand out, for me, with that - wow, I've never considered or  
seen that before this moment.

Wonderful set of links Philippe. Thank you immensely for your  
contribution. There's an enormous amount of work to consider in this  
link collection.
