Can someone give some pro-photographer names so I can study their pics. I can't even name a single one.

Two that I think everyone should study:
Ansel Adams
Henri Cartier Bresson
After that, just google up the kind of photography you're interested in. You'll find names pretty easily.
Outside of that, fucking lurk a bit. There's a good number of named, great photographers listed on this board right now (which is part of why I'm just giving you two names).
Edward steichen
Martin Parr
Josef Koudelka
On second thought just go to Magnum photos and look at all their photographers.

I don't think /p/ likes him very much, or really understands what makes him great, but I'm a huge fan of Joe McNally.
It's not about his tutorial shit or his blogging or even his lighting skills. It's about the fact that he can be dropped into just about any situation imaginable, working under serious time and logistical constraints, and create breathtaking photos in situations where most people on /p/ (myself included) would probably return with bland snapshits.

Look at Richard Avedon's In the American West. Best book of portraits ever made.
Ken Rockwell is the best photographer of our time. He doesn't even RAW.
Any suggestions for urban landscape photographers?

Trolling aside he does have a decent guide for beginners that need help getting down the fundamentals
