10 Favorite Photography Sites
I am always seeking out inspiration, probably more than I should. So I thought I would compile a list of ten of my favorite photographers and photography resources on the web. Free free to send in some of your own.
1. Strobist – Any photo related post that doesn’t mention Strobist is not much of a post. David Hobby of Strobist has set the standard for creating a knowledge bank around off-camera lighting. A must read for any aspiring photographer.
2. Fotozine – While I don’t visit the site much, I follow Fotozine on Twitter and he always manages to publish a wealth of great photography links. A must add to your Twitter feed.
3. PhotoResource – Another Twitter contact, PhotoResource is a great source for learning about the business side of photography.
4. PDN – While it’s a bit more journalist oriented, Photo District News is another great resource for finding the latest news from the photography world.
5. Ed McCulloch – A Utah based photographer with definitive style. Ed shot the latest Utah Travel campaign and has a mastery of light and color.
6. Making Tutorials – Perhaps one of the most versatile tools in Photoshop, Layer Masking is a must-know for processing photos. Learn how to effectively use masks with this very in-depth tutorial.
7. Yulia – Another great photographer with a distinct style. For some reason I find her photos very visceral, and am a sucker for her color manipulation.
8. Max Wanger – I have never had any sort of desire to be a wedding photographer. In fact it seems quite a hellish profession. However, photographer Max Wanger has managed to create some stunning wedding photos that break the norm, while truly capturing the essence of marriage.
9. Pulp – Pulp is a collaboration between model Joni Harbeck and photographer Neil Krug. A sort of throwback to 70’s-esque B-movies and grungy theaters. Nevertheless, I am a sucker for beautiful women, cars, and guns.
10. Heidi Johansen – I first discovered Heidi by purchasing an album with one of her photos on the cover art. Much like Yulia, she has a very desaturated, film-like feel to her photos.
