Who do you suggest I do my research paper on? I'm looking for someone who would be interesting to learn about and there is enough information on to make a paper.

There are some really great suggestions here. I would just like to add Dorothea Lange to the mix.... She has an amazing collection of dust bowl/depression era photographs. Very moving.

Gary Winogrand - New York street photographer in the 60s and 70s. He shot 3 rolls of film, his entire adult life.

Helmut Newton - German fashion and glamor photographer.

Both were very successful and influential. Both also loved the female form. With Newton, you'll run into a lot of semi-nude stuff - not pornographic, but not 'work safe' either.
