Focus on Photographers

This is a list of other photographers’ websites and blogs I have come across and found interesting, impressive or informative for me, including some of my (and probably most other photographers’) favorites.  Maybe you’ll find them interesting, impressive or informative, too.

(In no particular order, except the first one:)

  1. Ansel Adams, (does he really need an introduction?) This is the website of The Ansel Adams Gallery, a commercial site, but you can view all his major and lesser works, learn about educational opportunities, workshops, etc.:  http://www.anseladams.com
  2. Ansel Adams   Yes, this is a U.S. government website! In 1941 the National Park Service commissioned Ansel Adams to create a photo mural for the Department of the Interior Building in Washington, DC.  This is the collection he took for that commission,  not so well known, but unmistakably Ansel Adams:  http://www.archives.gov/research/ansel-adams/
  3. Ibarionex Perello, LA-based photographer, author, instructor and host of The Candid Frame, a highly informative weekly podcast, with great variety of photographers and insights, about 1 hour per podcast: http://ibarionex.net/thecandidframe/
