Our World Through a Lens: Photography Blogs to Follow Now
A collection of photography blogs and websites capturing the richness of our world, one stunning snapshot at a time.
Some of the best photographers and professional photo organizations maintain their homes on WordPress.com. See the world through their eyes.
Paul Zizka at Paul Zizka Photography
Paul Zizka is a professional mountain landscape and adventure photographer based in Banff, Alberta. His photographs celebrate the power and beauty of the outdoors, from the sprawling backcountry of Canada to hard-to-access locations in the wilderness. His night landscapes are spectacular.
Susan Portnoy at The Insatiable Traveler
Travel photographer Susan Portnoy focuses on wildlife and indigenous cultures and contributes to various outlets, including Yahoo Travel. She’s based in New York, but as her readers know, she’s usually off exploring a faraway destination. Her recent photo essays from Namibia on her blog, The Insatiable Traveler, are worth a peek.

Browse the Photos of the Day category, which curates timely images from AP photographers across the globe, or enjoy more in-depth photo essays on anything from graffiti in Athens commenting on Greece’s economic crisis to refugees fleeing Burundi to escape ongoing violence.

Aaron Joel Santos at From Swerve of Shore
Aaron Joel Santos is an editorial and documentary photographer who shoots for publications like the New York Times and TIME and covers a wide range of subjects, from landscapes and portraits to fashion and weddings. You’ll get a taste of his sophisticated yet edgy style on his personal blog, From Swerve of Shore. Over the years, he’s wowed us with his images of Southeast Asia — especially Hanoi, Vietnam — and we always look forward to what’s next.

Stephanie Dandan at Infinite Satori
We’ve highlighted Stephanie Dandan at Infinite Satori before, but she’s continued to inspire us with her adventures in the Philippines, Cambodia, and currently Australia. She captures the fleeting and serendipitous moments of travel, where at times it feels like you’re awake in a dream.

Managed by Fujifilm UK’s digital camera team, the Fujifilm Blog publishes tutorials (from understanding depth of field to the Rule of Thirds), spotlights on Fujifilm X-Photographers around the world, and guest features offering glimpses into photographers’ creative processes.

David Feuillatre at David with a Movie Camera
After spending years working on visual effects in the film industry, filmmaker and photographer David Feuillatre decided to leave Vancouver, British Columbia, to travel the world, meet new people, and tell their stories. On his blog, David with a Movie Camera, he publishes videos of his encounters along the way, and posts images of vibrant scenes and portraits. Under the Countries tab in his menu, you’ll find photographs by location — Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and India.
Flickr Blog
The blog of Flickr features the best from the online photo management and sharing site, from curated collections (flags around the world) to photographer features (Canadian photographer Erik Peterson in Tashkent, Uzbekistan). The community-fostering weekly themes (Flickr Friday, Twitter Tuesday) make you want to grab your camera and get shooting.

I’m not 100% familiar with Paul Zizka’s techniques and workflows. Night photography is one of his specialties (he teaches sold-out workshops). I’d suggest visiting his his site and poke around to learn more about his processes.

The second image with the circles is a long exposure… set the camera up on a tripod and leave the shutter open for an hour or 2 and the result are these star trails in the sky.

Hello, how does one go about getting their blog featured in a promotion like this? Thank you so much! IntuitionMatters.org I also have this one which I need to get more active on MaureenKeefePhotography.com. I got all hung up when I was getting glitches from deleting duplicate photos. I submitted questions and never heard back. A friend took a class on web page creation through wordpress and she was unable to assist me either. Thank you so much!Maureen Keefe

I recommend posting questions in the support forums when you experience glitches or technical issues — that’s a good place you can get answers from a mix of people (staff and volunteers).
We occasionally publish roundups like these, highlighting a select number of blogs in various categories. We search for great blogs and websites regularly and are always on the lookout for ways to feature standout users.
Thanks!
