After taking pictures for a while, it’s easy to get disuaded and feel that my pictures aren’t good enough. The best way for me to find some inspiration and realize that I just need to learn more, and put in more time is to browse some of my favorite photographer’s sites. They range from top of the line photographers, to people that just do it for fun on the weekends.

Vincent Laforet – Got addicted to him when I saw the pictures he took for Newsweek during the 2008 Olympics. Some really great moments in there.

Chase Jarvis – First heard about him through the Nikon D90 announcement video (almost made me switch to Nikon!) and then spent a long time watching all of his videos, great stuff and a full archive of videos.

Strobist – Just now starting to get into it, I have to get more off camera lighting before I can really start to experiment with this stuff.

GreyscaleGorilla – I don’t even know how I stumbled onto this site, but he works out of Chicago which is one of the cities I love most. I even caught a picture of my old apartment building when looking through his archives.

Zack Arias – Just found this guy last week, his studio work is amazing, what he does with lighting/white backdrop is amazing and really inspirational. Especially since a lot of that can be reproduced although, not as great as what he’s done.

Luke Wilkins – A student from Knoxville. Just across the state. Some great pictures and a lot of good compositions. Made me realize I need to step up my composition skills.

Tim Crowson – A personal friend of mine, takes some amazing pictures, I love his series from Japan, must be a great place that I want to visit one day.
