10 Great Photography Blogs You Should Be Reading

It is important to go out there and find the best Photography blogs to follow, read and in some cases emulate. This does not mean one should plagiarize: rather, you should look at these blogs for inspiration and to see how you can learn from one of this guys. So here is the list, in no particular order, of best 10 great photography blogs that I think you should follow:


Great Photography Blogs to Follow:


1- Joe McNally

Photographer Joe McNally, who’s career has spanned decades, is an extremely famous photographer with a blog that perfectly displays his work. The two things that are important to note about McNally’s site is that it has a great layout and is easily accessible. It also does not hurt to have some gorgeous photography, as well as some firsthand accounts of McNally’s amazing feats.

2- Fstoppers

It’s hard to believe Fstoppers has only been around since 2010. I think we’ve all seen the infamous iPhone fashion shoot video that rocketed the Fstoppers team in to the spotlight. To date the video has been seen over 1 million times. Now, the online community for all things photography and video has since become a anchor site for creatives to visit when searching for online content like gear reviews, how-to’s, news and BTS videos.  The dynamic photo duo of Lee Morris and Patrick Hall have built an outstanding team of contributors that continue to educate and inspire over a million photographers worldwide each month.

3- Feature Shoot

Feature Shoot is a famous blog to visit for inspiration, as well as a place to get your photos seen: the company has been known to show both up and comers, as well as distinguished photographers. On top of this, Feature Shoot “won LIFE.com’s 2011 Photo Blog Awards as “The Web’s 20 most compelling, most consistently insightful and surprising photography blogs.” By far the best part of the site is the fact that Feature Shoot covers a wide variety of topics, from fine art to NSFW photography.

4- Cloud Productions

If you want to simply go to a blog to see amazing pictures of people's portraitures, as well as read weekly insightful posts, then you should go to Cloud Productions’ site. On top of this, Cloud Productions is an amazing famous blog that have done countless articles about Children and Family Portraiture Photography.

5- PetaPixel

If you are just starting out in photogtaphy, PetaPixel is a fantastic place to start; with all of their tutorials, as well as product reviews, you cannot go wrong. While this format is widely used among photography blogs, I find PetaPixel a good read because of its ‘down to earth’ writing, which does not baby the reader.

6- Phoblographer

Another blog that displays the latest news, gear, events and reviews in the photography world, The PhoBlographer has an easy to use interface filled with fantastic writing by a diverse staff. While it does not do anything new for the photography blog format, its in depth coverage certainly warrants your time.

7- Strobist

Another blog that displays the latest news, gear, events and reviews in the photography world, The PhoBlographer has an easy to use interface filled with fantastic writing by a diverse staff. While it does not do anything new for the photography blog format, its in depth coverage certainly warrants your time.

8- Flak Photo

Last, but definitely not least, is Flak Photo. A constant source of inspiration, the site is dedicated to showcasing the very best photography from artists, curators, bookmakers and photo organizations around the world. Editor and founder Andy Adams is constantly raising the bar and bringing attention to the industry’s rising stars, best kept secrets and names we as image makers and lovers need to know. It is without a doubt that we can say Andy Adams is one of the leading voices in contemporary photography today and is definitely someone we should all be paying attention to.

9- Flickr Blog

The companion blog to Flickr, almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world. Flickr continues to evolve in myriad ways, all of which are designed to make it easier and better. Check out The Flickr Blog, which serves you great content daily, or keep an eye on their photo content blog post.
