Your Favorite Photographers

I’ve been amassing a collection of photography websites and portfolios I like after reading a lot of photography blogs. I’m now interested in hearing about some of your favorites.

Here are some samples from my list.

Portfolios/websites:
Katie Shapiro - portraits
Jonas Peterson - weddings
DuckDuck Collective (John Carl, Ally Powell, Matt Addington) - fashion, lifestyle, pop culture

Flickr galleries:
anna hollow - portraits, lifestyle
Benedetta Falugi - landscapes, locations
Bernie DeChant - art photography, portraits, locations

My list skews toward the young and modern, because that’s just the stuff I’ve run into personally. But I love photography of all different eras and styles.

I loveClark Little. I have Rainbow Shave Ice and Copper on the walls in my office.

James Nachtwey
Sebastiao Salgado
Nadav Kander

Edward Burtynsky, Terry Richardson, Larry Clark, David “Old Reliable” Hurles, Brian M. Bradley, Steve Raymer.

Since I first saw her work in London in 1976 I have loved Mary Ellen Mark. I think she is the best black and white photographer I have ever seen. The linked site is very generous with hundreds of images available in the books listed. Hours of browsing.

Galen Rowell

Lewis Hine

Margaret Bourke-White

I would classify this as hipster photography more than anything. To think this sort of stuff gets a hundred time the views anything I’ve ever done gets.

Are we going with world famous photographers, or the less known ones?

If the former, I really like Erwin Olaf (many images NSFW!!), although he is more of a digital artist than a straight photographer, and David LaChapelle.

For more amateur photographers, I like quite a few, but Citronic is one of my favs.

Joshua Hoffine. Creepy as all-get-out. Of his more recent photos, I like Babysitter.
