Ten Great Photography Blogs
Photography is a wonderful freelance career for many talented photographers. I love looking at creative photography as many of the photos tell a such a unique story. The advent of the internet has spawned a never-ending line of image-hungry websites all vying for the best and brightest pictures to draw traffic. Even if you start as just a part time business, you can still make excellent money, and who knows? Maybe one day you’ll throw that corporate job to the wind and decide to become a full time photographer! Need some inspiration? I’ve got a list of ten fantastic photography blogs that will get you excited about pursuing the job of your dreams:
1. Chromasia: http://www.chromasia.com/
Based in the UK, this artist dabbled in photography for twenty years, but says that “it was only when I started posting images on the internet that I really began to take it seriously.” Since 2003 he has established his company chromasia, traveled around the world and won numerous awards. His portfolio ranges from portraits to the abstract.
2. Vanilla Days: http://www.vanilladays.com/
This photographer went to school to become a software engineer but after he bought his first digital camera, he started designing websites; then quit to be a photographer full time. He focuses on urban settings and ‘relaxed’ landscapes.
3. The Blackbird and the Moon Flower: http://travelstock.inebeerten.be/index.php
Freelance photographer travels around the world taking beautiful photographs which she sells on her blog. Not a bad way to make a living. There are some particularly beautiful shots of Asian art and architecture on this blog.
4. Photoschau: http://www.photoschau.de/index.php
A stunning photo blog that favors still life images in vivid color. The artist’s unique view of even the most common objects is a delight! Using organic and non-organic subjects, he provides a unique view of the world that hearkens back to childhood when everything is a brand new experience.
5. Deceptive Media: http://www.deceptivemedia.co.uk/
Texture and pattern are explored through intimate views of the subject matter often at extreme close up angles. Water and clouds feature predominately throughout this artists’ portfolio.
6. Accessible: http://www.accessible.de/pixelpost/index.php
Landscapes and natural images with an almost melancholy simplicity. The photographer uses various techniques to add an element of fantasy to the otherwise simple, everyday beauty of the subjects.
7. San Francisco Daily Photo: http://www.sanfranciscodailyphoto.com/
Proof that you don’t have to be a globe-trotter to capture amazing images; this photographer simply walks the streets of his city, snapping photos on a daily basis and posting them to his blog. If you’ve ever spent time in San Francisco, these photos will make your heart sing.
8. Made in Tokyo: http://www.fgautron.com/weblog/
Another great city blog featuring the great Japanese city of Tokyo featuring architecture, landscapes, and lots of human interest; this blog is a wonderful glimpse into a culture that fascinates millions around the world.
9. Isoticia Everyday: http://www.istoica.com/everyday/index.php
A pair of collaborating portrait photographers have combined their talents on this photoblog with stunning images of people and animals. Hip, stylish, and fun—these photos highlight the unique beauty in each and every person.
10. My Glass Eye: http://www.myglasseye.net/
A unique portfolio with portraits, stills and editorial shots that express the unique viewpoint of the artist; one that captures real world images in stark honesty.

This is a great listing for those in photography. I have only looked at a couple but they were both very nice with unique content. Can’t wait to check out the others.
This list was made last February, 2009. Could you please review more photo blogs now, since WordPress and other blogging programs had recently enhanced their programs with more features in photo blogging
This is a fantastic list, amazing! Thanks for the great resources and regards from Colognes photography-world
My favorite photo blog is Destination Wedding Photography His work is so versatile, personal, and compelling.
These were great blogs. The pictures were stunning. I published the blogs to my blog so I can do a daily check.
thepassiontheory.blogspot.com
That’s a great list. ..though I haven’t seen all of them yet. They provide good info on photography. Thanks for sharing. I too have a photography blog ( http://digitalslrphotographyguide.net )..but its more of an amature compared to those you listed.
I want to talk a little about the “Natural Eye” for taking pictures. Many photographers or people who seem to have an interest with photography have many technical skills. Yet, they do not seem to have the “natural eye” for taking awsome pictures.
I believe, the natural eye for taking pictures is something a person is born with, like someone that is an artist and is great in painting portraits.
But, I also think that if someone has a liking or passion for photography. The natural eye skills can be developed. How, be creative and when a subjects shows an expression that catches your eye; take the picture. Do not wait for that perfect pose, because the moment will pass.
Also, practice, practice and be respectful to your subjects wishes!
Have a great day.
Nice list with some great images.
I like this.
workbook.com is awesome.
u can look at work by lots of different photographers. You can chose what type of images you want to look at and where the photographer is based. its a great site.
These are some great blogs. I’ve been paying closer attention to photoblogs in general since I revamped mine with larger pictures recently. I’m really enjoying tooling around the internet checking other photoblogs out.
