In this episode, we profile three of the world's most important photographers:

• Mary Ellen Mark. A documentary photographer who captured intimate and candid portraits of people around the world, sharing their lives with millions who would otherwise never be exposed to their living conditions.
• David LaChapelle. A fine art photographer hand-picked by Andy Warhol, he brings Renaissance-era storytelling and symbolism to modern photography. Plus, he shoots celebrities.
• Yuri Arcurs. Probably the best selling photographer of all time, you see his work everywhere but you probably don't know his name. He's a stock photographer, who started only about a decade ago, but now claims to sell 4 million pictures per year.
