The 20 Photo Blogs I Follow

As any painter through the ages will tell you, it is important to surround yourself with good people that inspire you.

I’ve been going stead fast for about 4 years following a few photographers I adore. It’s a way of connecting with people I know and admire. A few are friends. Some I’ve attended their workshops. Others, I’ve never met but hope to some day. Above all, I can usually count on a dose of inspiration from each post from the peeps I follow.

IMHO, my ingredients for who/whom (never mastered that in school) I choose to follow isn’t science. I’ve dropped some people I used to stalk years ago… and added others very recent (you know who you are). However, I have a few basic tenants… and encourage you to come up with your own filters.

Turn-ons: inspiration (above all), nice warmth & humanity of tone, established leadership in the industry, value-to-time ratio, tips & tricks, original content, humor, passion illustrated.

Turn-offs: copycats, infrequent updates (about twice/week is good for me), SEO phrases to woo search engines, boring work

The Top 20 Photographer Blogs I like to follow:

It’s hard just to keep up with these 20 folks… they are among the best leaders in the industry. But it is worth it. And I thank them!

And the nourishment that sustains creative juices best? Not other wedding photographer blogs, but the soul food served with love at my happy place, Bad Medicine Lake!wpid-bad_medicine_lake_photography-2011-08-5-12-47.jpg
