I want bleak, ideally black and white photos of people... Along the lines of films like The Proposition and No Country for Old Men.
Any ideas?
Richard Avedon - American West. Large Format studio type stuff as opposed to location but very very good although the studio was a tent so technically they were location shots..
Dorothea Lange might be a starting point, 30s America, depression era, Jack Delano also.

Don McCullin is most definitely bleak.
Hmm, I was going to mention my brother in law but doesn't quite fit the requirements.

Josef Koudelka would fit the bill nicely.
Aye Dorothea Lange.....also Ansel Adams.

have a look at Traudel Baumann. Website appears to be all in German though.

Jan Saudek is also worth a look as well as Diane Arbus
Doesn't comply with your requirements, but amazing all the same:

Ooh cheers all, that's really helpful. Some stuff I know in there but lots of new names too.
There was a link on here years ago to a guy who took amazing shots of people in the streer/tube etc..captured at clever moments. I cant for the life of me remeber who it was any ideas?
