I find that knowing and understanding some of the classic styles adds to my bag o' tricks for when I come across a situation or subject that I am unsure how to shoot. Often I will start with a classic style and evolve to something on my own.

You pick, you study, you shoot!
If you want, feel free to elaborate on what makes the shot in the style of, or just simply list the artist. Hopefully this thread will help some new hobbyists get shots they are happy with and remind veteran shooters of some styles gone out of vouge.
Let's see what you can do!
