I try to learn something new every single day. In this business that is constantly changing and evolving, I find it important to share as much as I can with anyone who wants to listen…because you probably have something to share with me as well. So whether you are a new photographer, someone looking to get into photography or a seasoned pro, hopefully some of the links below will lead you down a newly discovered path.
Professional Photographers of America - I live and breath by this organization. They have helped me find equipment insurance, health insurance and much more. I also get incredible discounts through them on things used in my everyday business.
Wedding Photojournalist Association
Wedding and Portrait Photographer International
National Association of Photoshop Professionals - worth it for the Apple discount alone!
BluDomain - Affordable websites for photographers
ProPhoto - Creators of my slick, new blog
White House Custom Color - The best customer service around for a lab. Quality and turnaround time is amazing as well.
Finao - Hot. Hot. Hot. That’s all I can say about their albums and products.
Bellagrafica - Custom packaging at an affordable price. How you present your products is just as important as the products themselves.
48 Hour Print - Affordable print house for marketing materials. Much more economical than some of the ones specifically geared towards photographers.
Strobist - With a little help from my friends, hours online at strobist and experimenting on my own, I taught myself off-camera lighting. Trust me…you can too.
Design Aglow - Neat site with a lot of inspiration for photographers. They also sell templates, borders, overlays, actions, etc.
And speaking of inspiration, did I mention that I try to visit other photographer’s sites on a regular basis? I’m constantly trying to find new photographers whose work pushes me to be a better photographer. Some of my favorites are:
The Image is Found
Jessica Claire
Chris+Lynn
Mind Castle Studio
Jinky Art
and lastly, my fellow photographer friends up in Boston, MKD Photography
