Inspiring Photographers

Just wanted to take a moment to notice some of the most amazing photographers of all time!


Ansel Adams (San Francisco, California)
Landscape Photographer and environmentalist
'I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us' - Ansel Adams




Irving Penn (American)
Fashion Portrait Photographer (vogue)
“A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective.




Richard Avedon (American - New York)
Fashion Photographer who photographed the Beatles, Bob Dylan and Marilyn Monroe




And of course.. one of my favs...

Anne Leibovitz
an American portrait photographer (rolling stones) whose style is marked by a close collaboration between the photographer and the subject.
If you haven't seen it already.. rent her documentary "life through the lens" Its absolutely amazing, she is so inspiring (even if you are not a photographer)!
