5/5 – Posts and Sites You Should Read for 5/21/10
Every Friday, I am going to try to give you five posts and five sites that you as a photographer should read. I will admit right now that not every one of them are going to be photography related, but they will be worth reading as a photographer.
As a start for this week, I am going with the presenters from the Escalate Live 2010 that I attended earlier this week. I really think that their sites deserve a look. That means that the posts are not really posts this time, but VERY important or good sites from the speakers.
POSTS
Jeremy Cowart – Jeremy is a visionary in the photography industry. If you visit only one site from this page, make it this one.
Jasmine Star – Her site is a thing of beauty. Well thought out and it lets you see a bit of Jasmine.
Jerry Ghionis – He makes the rest of us want to quit. His images are amazing and yet he is willing to share his techniques.
Help-Portrait – This is one of Jeremy Cowart’s ideas. Take images of people who would never be able to afford to have their images taken and do it for free.
PVC Photography – Ok, she didn’t speak, but she was at the conference and she is an amazing photographer who WILL be a rock star in the near future.
SITES
Dane Sanders – Host and founder of Escalate Live.
[b]ecker – Founder of the [b] school.
Julieanne Kost – The woman is FUNNY and KNOWS (like seriously knows) Lr and Ps. Can you say genius?
Jessica Clair – A very straight forward speaker with some interesting ideas on wedding photography.
David Jay – The founder of the Showit sites.
I really like Jeremy Cowart’s International series
Cowart’s presentation was inspirational. He is a great photographer.
