I started this project a few months ago and really dropped the ball. I made my list of the top Photogaphers to follow on flickr, contacted them to make sure they were o.k. with it and then..............................nothing. I got really busy running my own business and got side tracked from working on this site. Well, after a few months of feeling guilt from not doing what I said I would do, I decided to resurrect the post.
When it comes to advancing in knowledge, it is always good to look at masters in your field. I mean, who better to learn from right? I have been shooting for over 25 years and I still, constantly, look at the work of others. These are 3 of the top photographers to follow on flickr.com. I have asked them all to submit a short Bio and submit a photo of their choice. To see more of their work click on the links I have provided below!
*Note their is no order. These photographers are all at the top of their universe.

I started photography in 2008 when the Design Stuido i work at (PlainJoe Studios) bought a DSLR. In 2009 I started a 365 project on flickr. Within a few months the project started picking up followers and supporters which enouraged me to keep it up. After that project I setup my photoblog which shares a lot of the things I learned during that year. I shoot everything but I prefer taking portraits.

Hey Brian,
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I think you make a most valid point about the importance of viewing the work of others, it's critical to improving your own skills and in turn developing your own unique style. I've only looked briefly at the Flickr Streams mentioned here, the quality stands out immediately but so too does the diversity in styles. Cheers Jason
Jason, Thank you for your thoughts. I just wrote an post based on the premise of your comment. Also, if your interested I would love for you to be a guest writer. I am going to start a new series on why photographers should shoot film. I would love to showcase some of your work as a reference to working with film. Thanks and let me know if this is something you would be interested in.
DeleteThanks for publishing these details online.

ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work! You realize, a lot of individuals are searching round for this info, you can

Look at my web site ; hier klicken
I think evеrything published madе a ton of sense.
ReplyDeleteHοwevеr, think on this, what if уou ωеre to write a kіller post title?
I mean, I dоn't want to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a title to possibly grab a person's attеntion?
I mean "Photography Training: 3 Top Photographers to Follow on Flickr"
is а little vanilla. You might glance at Yahοo's home page and note how they create article titles to grab viewers interested. You might add a video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you've written.
In my oрinion, it would bring your posts a little bіt more intеrеstіng.

Anon, Thanks you for your comment. You exactly right on the point that if I had better titles it might help readers become more excited about reading the posts on my site. However, you need to understand why I title my posts this way. See, there is this thing called SEO, or Search Engine Optimization. I title my posts this way because they have a better chance to rank higher in SEO thus getting more visitors to this site. I feel what I have to say is important and the information found here is useful. So, ask yourself this question..... is it more important to have great titles to articles, but no one will read them? Or is it more important to have titles that are SEO friendly and have people read them? I have not found a way to do both yet so I have chosen the latter. Again thank you for your comment and for visiting this blog!
