Richard Arran should be on your list.
You Should add Daniel A. Norman
Michael Riffle should absolutely be on this list.
Also, Jim Patterson should be on the list.
thanks guys! keep the suggestions coming - i'll add them to the list.
< must be idiotically boring. LOL
what?
Check out Daniel Schwabe
I think you should add Marco Secchi and Guillem Lopes they are a must in my view!
Dina, are they on Google+? I was not able to find them.
I found some great photographers on your list, some very average photographers, some whose photographic abilities I can't assess because they have posted very few images and one guy who hasn't posted anything since July 13. In short, a very odd collection of names.
So how did you go about compiling the list? What were your criteria? How did you come up with these names?
Olli, I used several methods to compile the list. I tried sticking with mostly professional photographers and included amateurs I thought were actually pretty good. If they didn't have a lot of updates they generally came with high recommendations from other photographers and hopefully they'll start posting more soon!
I would like to see more women on the list. 8 out of 104? Come on now. Check out Neesa Butterberry, Andrea Lohmann, Lara Wechsler, Tamara Pruessner, Ange Fitzgerald, Danielle Tunstall, to start.
Rory, you're definitely right in that I missed a lot of women. In my research I honestly didn't come across that many. I'll definitely be checking out your recommendations.
Thanks for thinking of me Rory.
I'm more comfortable being humble, but according to your method used, you could probably add me on to the female list, seeing as there's not that many. I don't have a recognizable name yet by any means, but I do often get paid for my work. Thanks for your time in making this list and responding to comments!
A true surprise. Thanks for adding me.
you're welcome!
shud hav added manny librodo too
mimi - is he on google+? i can't find him.
nice to be here...
You should add Rory Amber Thompson. From what I've seen of her work she is a great portrait photographer.
Andrea, Rory's been added to the list as well after I checked out her work. Agreed her work is great. Do you have suggestions for other artists to add?
I wish I had suggestions for more photographers but right now I'm having way too much fun
getting the hang of G+ and meeting new people. Maybe down the road I will have some.
Check out +Chaim Frank, I think he would be a nice addition to the list
Add me :) +Rocco Scandizzo
You need to add David duChemin.
you can also add Malcolm Fackender (Spotlight on Asia)
Professional Photog here :) Please add "Al Ebnereza" and "Laura Ferreira" (she is phenomenal!)
Thanks for the list, this is great!
Love your lists. I would really love to see a list of art directors or photo editors though, I think that would be an incredibly valuable linkage with photographers. But I wonder if ADs and PEs really want to connect with photographers on SM as the numbers could be intimidating if they do not have some SM skills to deal with the numbers.
Great list! I've recently added a Google
+ page for my nature & night photography at https://plus.google.com/108234504729950216883/posts. Guy Tal, Jack Brauer, and Erik Stensland are a few others I'd recommend.
Thanks!
