Now let’s get local. Columbus, Ohio that is. At least, that’s local for I2.
I recently found a great photographer and photoblogger from my hometown by the name of Chantal Stone. She maintains a blog AND a photoblog. It’s especially cool for me to view her photos because there are locations that I recognize. For example, this great photo titled “the kiss” was taken at the Easton Mall.
You should do yourself a favor and read her blog. I especially like her Projects and Progress post in which she analyzes how her shooting style has changed over the years. Also, she points to a Digg like site for photography called Photography Voter. I agree with Chantal in that it looks like a time waster site.
Keep up the excellent work Chantal. I’ll be sure to check back with you.
Wedding photographer Marc Pagani blogs over at One Union Hundreds of Stories. Once you get to the blog you’ll have to click on the thumbnail image or the “click more” button to see the complete post. And trust me, the click is well worth it. The posts are rich with great photos and a behind the scenes description of what it is like to be a Wedding Photographer.
Marc’s main website can be found here. Stick around on his home page for a while and view the slide show. You might get an inspiration or two.
Now for the second installment of the I2 Photoblogger Spotlight. This issue’s spotlight is on Photographer Molly Ann of Luminaire Images Photography.
Molly Ann really takes awesome photographs and showcases them beautifully on her blog. On top of that, her personality really comes through in her writing. My guess is that her blog has helped her, if not already, in marketing her services.
Welcome to the first installment of the I2 Photoblogger Spotlight. Here I’ll spotlight photographers and their photo blogs. The first I2 Photoblogger Spotlight is San Francisco photographer Rafael Morales of RM Studio. His photoblog is called Peek into a Photographer. Why Rafael? Because he is real and he’s a great photographer. I’ve peeked at his moblog, what they call them there over at textamerica, for a number of years now. At first it seemed he posted a lot of behind the scene photos from his photo shoots. Which isn’t bad considering the type of photo shoots he’s hired to do. Let’s just say I’d be an assistant of his any day : )
Anyways, he got to know some of the regulars on TA and even went to TA meet and greets in Florida and New York. He really has done a nice job reaching out to others and seemed, at least to me, to be the de facto photog on TA.
Rafael also appears to have built a big following, with 3,161 comments and 118,243 views. However, I wish he would start up another photoblog on another site, say a hosted WordPress blog. The pictures on his TA blog are small, and for some of the older posts, you just see the TA logo. And when you click on the logo, you are referred back to the thumbnail page.
Maybe he will. His last post included the text “Something for whats left of TA….”
