There are almost as many websites for best photographers, as there are photographers. It is really a matter of taste and personal judgment deciding who the best photographers are. Annie Leibovitz is considered the highest paid photographer in the world and certainly is one of the best of the twentieth century.
If you are thinking of the twentieth century and black and white photographers there are many to choose from. There are a few who have had a lasting impact on photography. One is Henri Cartier-Bresson who developed the concept of the decisive moment. He suggests that each image has one perfect moment for the capture of the concept.
Another is Ansel Adams, the famous landscape photographer that developed the concept of the zone system which is still taught today in photography schools. Others that should be considered and studied are Karsh, Mary-Ellen Mark, Eddie Adams, Elliot Erwitt, Jerry Uelsuman and Alfred Eisenstadt. After researching all these famous photographers you can make your own informed decision of who is the best.
