Some of my favourites are Bill Allard, David Allen Harvey and Alex Webb. (two of my other favourites tend to use Medium Format - Martin Parr & Nick Waplington). And of course, the "original" colour photographer Ernst Haas. In fact, I think there are many photographers using colour today who still don't ever manage to achieve what Haas did with colour. I think that to make really good documentary/reportage photographs of this kind, in colour, is oft times harder to achieve than with black and white. Tim Atherton
