photography makes me happy

(photo by Shannon Fagan)


I keep a little document of photographers I like. Today, as I tidied up my office, I found about fifteen Post-It notes with photographer's names scrawled on them. (I always forget the who/what/why so when I google their names I get to re-experience the initial awe; I love that part.) As I updated my document, I thought, why not update you, too?

Here are a few of my favorites. Apparently, I really like feminine subject matter.

23. Frank Visser. (styling)
25 spoonfuls of inspiration for the weekend. I'll save the Flickr faves for next time. You'll probably be on my list.

ali, I just went through every one of these. and I am in love. I'm so glad you posted this. it gave me something to do while feeling like poo on a friday night.
I must say though, I loved these:
shannon fagan - just about everything
julia fullerton-batten - girl with the fish bowl
nicholas lorden - oh that use of light
frank visser - ijm is incredible
anna wolf - yes, her work is gorgeous and so real.
thank you so much for sharing!!

p.s. I too like female subject matter. girls are just prettier to look at than boys. :)

Ha ha, I like photos of gals too, maybe it's because we identify.
Thanks for sharing this, I looked through a few but will spend more time checking out the rest!

I swear that picture could be of me, but I was under the covers (like my parents couldn't see the flashlight through the covers!!)

Ali, I really love rittaikonen. Her site is beautiful too. I think you'd like Robin Schwartz. She photographs her beautiful little girl with/and animals. http://robinschwartz.net/main.php

Wow. This photo totally brings me back. When I was little I used to be "sneaky" and stay up late reading American Girl books under the covers w/ a flash light. :)
