Seshu Photography (blog here ) is based in Connecticut, New England, but Seshu travels extensively to capture lushly gorgeous wedding, engagement and portrait images that are a flawless mix of candid in-the-moment captures fused with beautifully posed images. Seshu was born in NY, but lived in India for 12 years before returning to the US. As he mentions in his bio, he straddles multiple cultures and comfortably immerses himself into their prized traditions. I know you will enjoy his work if you haven’t yet heard of Seshu. Make sure you follow him on twitter too, as he has lots to say and lots of great advice.

Enjoy!

Darling Art Photography by Rebecca Mudrick and Dena Robles is located in Chapel Hill, NC and they are also  available for travel. Darling Art photographs primarily children (aka, little darlings! cute, huh?) which I love, as I’ve seen so many photographers try to cover every age group when it is not their passion, and it shows. But~Darling Art sticks to children, and their work is masterful. The black and whites on the blog {here} have that lovely luminescent quality that I love, their color work is rich and luscious, and the expressions on their little subjects just epitomize joy. Enjoy the blog, and please accept my apologies for my long delay in posting. My cousin has been critically ill in the ICU with H1N1 complications for 13 days, and I’ve had trouble with staying focused on my photography, let alone finding time for blogs of photogs.  Please keep him in your prayers, it is a very scary time for our family.  Be well~

Bob Smith of No Traces has one of the largest online portfolio’s of amazing work that I’ve reviewed on Blogs of Photogs. Where to start… well you can go to his photoblog to view a singular image with a quote or lyrics or small writing, or read his blog to catch up on his thoughts, or view his flickr stream (my faves are in his “one’s I like” stream here…)

Bob’s passion for photography & life and his artistry and documentary style were just a wonderful place for me to get lost in. So, get a big cup of coffee and sit down and be entralled.

Enjoy!

James Nachtwey doesn’t have a blog, just a simple website filled with powerful, moving, disturbing and important images. James has worked as a photographer for decades– documenting wars, conflicts and critical social issues. According to his website, he has worked on extensive photographic essays in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, South Africa, Russia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Romania, Brazil and the United States.

I cannot personally fathom how it would affect your spirit to have been a firsthand witness to capture all these haunting images, but I am so grateful for James, and photographers like him, who document and report on these crucial events and occurrences. I hope his photography moves you as it did me.

Jerry Yoon Phototography consists of Jerry & Ingrid who photograph amazing weddings out of the San Francisco Bay area as well as many destination weddings, and Aubrey & Blake their newish associate photographers. The artistry in their work is amazing and their polished and inspiring take on new shots/angles/compositions is really terrific. I found myself looking way back in their blog, all the way to September of ‘08  (here) where I just loved this engagement session sneak peek. Such a great slice of life and so FUN! Definitely one of the more inspiring wedding blogs out there for me.

Enjoy!

Eye in the Sky photography, owned by Kene Sperry, is based out of Big Sky, Montana, but he travels internationally to provide his elegant and artful wedding photography. Kene doesn’t have a blog, so I’m straying from my usual practice of featuring blogs, but his site has several sections where you can enjoy the cinematic artistry of his work~ from his portfolio, to his present moment section featuring weddings of 2008, to his slideshows and book samples. His work is brilliant, and a true archive of his clients special day- I know you will enjoy his site.

Enrique Vidal’s photoblog features a variety of landscape and travel images of astonishing beauty. To navigate through his blog, click the “Previous” link under his name to go back through each prior posting. I also discovered you can click on the photo with the same result. Enrique has travelled extensively, partly due to his work as an oceanographer, he has even to travelled to Antarctica, an amazing rarity in the photographic world. His work on his blog is mesmerizing and lovely; I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Spend a few minutes on Matt Nicolosi’s blog, and you will get a feel that he is a fun guy and that he really loves photography. I mean really. I have to admit it took me quite a while of hitting refresh to decide which of his “bio-pics” and header combo’s to use for my little screenshot up there. Every refresh it is a new one, from photos of him as a child, to fun ones like the iPhone eyes above. I love little details like this.

Matt’s blog features a dizzying array of amazing inspiration in color, texture and light. Lots of amazing architecture and travel shots, just beautiful work. Matt should really be working for a travel magazine, or shooting for an online travel or architecture website… really outstanding! Now, if you stopped at his blog, and didn’t make it to his site, you’d think that was it. But no, his site has loads of gorgeous client work too. I’m not sure why there are so few client sessions on his blog (could be a slow time, or too busy, or lazy, like me, lol) but make sure you check out his site too by clicking here. Matt’s work is not to be missed.

I wish the banner for Archibald Photography Blog had some photos in it, but after looking at lots of photographers blogs in the Britain, Scotland, Ireland, etc, I find it seems, oddly, to be more common for them not to. However, make sure you scroll down a bit to get to the wonderful wedding photography featuring some of the most amazing backdrops (and men in kilts! Love that!) and architecture. Amazing castles and ruins and more… and I love the processing on some of the images, gives them such an otherworldly feel. You can access their portrait work via the top bar links as well, some great stuff here. Archibald photography works in Scotland and is available for travel around the UK and internationally.

I love the polished and elegant look of Jason’s photography and I have to say, his flosite blog just suits it to a “T”. His wedding work is divine, and I am in awe of his glamorous and graceful portraiture of both the shockingly gorgeous couples he photographs, as well as the more “typical in appearance” wedding and engagement pairs. His work with off camera flash is amazing. I know my readers will love his work, Jason Groupp works out of NYC and on location. 

Enjoy!
