(5) Joel Peter Witkin - Photographer, does B/W photography, uses his own techinique when exposing and developing in the darkroom
Claimed his 'drive' in photography first came from when he was a little boy, his family were heading out one day and there was a car crash outside of his house, he watched a small girl be decapitated in the crash, saw something roll from the wreckage. As he drew near it he found her head. And as he reached out to touch it he was pulled away. From what I remember he said that it was 'talking' to him. That's what i remember anyway.
His photography focuses on body parts, as well as the grotesque or the unusual. Photographs of limbs, dwarfs, hemaphrodites etc.

Robert Mapplethorpe also, while not as shocking as Peter witkin
(to me anyway), his work challenges the conventions of his time. Ignoring racial stands at the time. strong vibes of homosexuality, sadomasochistic erotica. All Perhaps some of his work was able to shock. One of his self portraits for example. Two words. Bull whip.
Some of his work is amazing though.

anyway, hope that helps

(5)- Damien Hirst- some of his works are really gross but his passion for art making is lacking. he enjoys shocking for the sake of shoking
