Great ICONIC Photographs

Wikipedia defines ICONIC photographs as photographs considered the most important in surveys where authoritative sources review the history of the medium not limited by time period, genre, topic, or other specific criteria. These images may be referred to as the most important, most iconic, or most influential—but they are all considered key images in the history of photography.
At our November 2, 2020 meeting three of our members showed work they considered to be by Great ICONIC photographers. To see photos by these photographers search Google, they are not reproduced here due to copyright considerations.
