Book Research - The Great Life Photographers

I know that these shots aren't medium format work but the reason I put them in is because I don’t think that its important what format the photographs are for them to be inspiring and give my tips and ideas that I can use in my medium format work. 
Robert Capa:

What I like about this image is the grit and grain of the image. This is what I like about film photography, it gives the image a rustic feel and real gives the image a quality that you can’t get in digital without a lot of editing. 


Andreas Feininger:

I would really like to know how the photographer has managed to get the lighting like this in this shot. I really don’t understand it but I really like it. I also like the detail how you can see the aperture in the lens of the camera that the model is holding up. 
Philippe Halsman:

I’m obsessed with portraits of old Hollywood a listers in this style. I wish I could simply touch upon the look and quality of images such as this one. They hold such grace!
