Favorites!!
I have been so excited to make this page. To be able to share what has helped me get to where I am today, and what continues to help and inspire me every single day.
Anyone that knows me well knows that I have MANY favorites, so instead of telling you who my one favorite photographer is, and what my one favorite photography book is, I'll give you a whole list and let you choose for yourself.
Favorite Photographers: Wow, where to begin. (Click name for the link to their website/blog)
Top 5: (right now at least, it changes all the time)
1. Cliff Mautner - The light that this guy can capture is just amazing. He has some serious talent. Make sure you check out his site.
2. Marcus Bell - I have never seen more beautiful landscape portraits that what he has captured. An INCREDIBLE photographer.
3. Mike Colon - Amazing photographer, person, father, speaker, teacher...etc. He's amazing!
4. J. Garner - He's new on the list, but deserves some serious respect. Wow he has some amazing photos, and some incredible album designs.
5. Jasmine Star - This girl rocks. She's real. She's talented, and has stormed the wedding photography business like no other (started only 4 years ago and already named one of the best 15 wedding photographers in the US). Major props. Check out her blog here.
Now those are just the wedding photographers! For example, Joe McNally is probably one of my all time favorites. He shoots all journalistic work for magazines like LIFE, Time and National Geographic. The guy is something of a genius when it comes to off camera lighting.
Also, here are some other names you seriously HAVE to check out!
-Jen Perkes (My Mom!)
-Joey L (this kid is ridiculously talented)
...tons others. More to come.
