I don't know the other 2 but I wouldn't want to follow Adams. He liked to climb mountains and I don't.

The choice of which photographers to study / emulate is as personal as is the choice of camera, lens, etc. Only you can say which suits you more.

Also, it very much depends on one's chosen:
* photography genre (portrait, landscape, photojournalism, street, etc), and
* medium (color diigtal, decolorized color-sensor digital, mochrome sensor digital,
color print film, color slide film, B&W print film, alternative processes)
Finally, it's usual for a good photographer to also be a good writer of books on
photography. Ansel Adams is the great exception. A good place to start is
Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs. The 40 photocs cover a wide
variety: landscape (of course), architecture, portrait, informal portrait, still life, etc.
(There's even a landscape taken with a soft-focus lens.) But no color.

Aw, c'mon, climbing mountains is most of the fun. . .
