Bernadette Uzcategui Photography, or BUphotography, is one of those amazingly-talented-at everything photographers. She is as skilled with pets as she is with children, rocks with headshots and commercial photography and does a lovely job with maternity. Her blog is a wonderful blending of all of the above and more, with lots of great inspiration for my readers to browse through. BUP is based out of Philadelphia, Main Line & Manhattan and surrounding areas. ~Enjoy!

Crash Taylor is a highly sought after and talented wedding photographer who is based in the UK in Nottingham and Derby. Crash’s style leans toward photojournalistic, with an eye for catching those moments that might easily be missed. He also has some great HDR images on his blog, always great to see when done well. Crash does a phenomenal job of finding the most amazing backdrops for his clients… really inspirational.

Crash also has a separate site that I’m sure many of my readers would love: Interviews by Crash Taylor where he does an in depth interview with various wedding photographers, great info, and fun to read too. Check it out here.

Enjoy!

Susan Braswell works on location around Northern Va, DC and Maryland metro area, and as you view her blog you will notice that one thing she excels at  (besides having gorgeous clients!) is capturing great connections. Her stunning black and whites images feature some of the most airy and creamy tones around, and she is masterful at marketing as well. I’ve known Susan for over seven years; we first “met” online at a parenting site way back when our youngest babies were born very close in age. We finally met in person over a year ago when my family was visiting Washington DC. When you view her new blog, make sure you scroll back several pages, as some health issues kept her from updating with her usually frenetic pace of late. I know you will love and admire her work too! ~Enjoy!

Since I have so many new readers, wanted to re-iterate a few things I have not mentioned in a long while. First off, I want to remind everyone that the sponsors, with banners along both sides (more in depth info about them can be found by clicking the small “sponsors” link up top) help to support Blogs of Photogs so I can spend all this time checking out blogs, so please visit and support our wonderful sponsors! They are awesome and I’m a personal fan of all their wares.

Second, I get dozens and dozens of emails each week asking me to review photographers blogs, and also get lots from newer-just starting out photographers asking me for in depth feedback on their portfolio/style, etc. I wish I had 50 hours in a day to do all that, but I haven’t figured out how to stretch the day further. So just a note to let you know: if you send in your blog, I will look at it sometime, could be in 2 weeks, could be in 8 months, but I’ll get there someday I hope. Click the “about” link up top for more info on how to get reviewed. Other questions will be answered as time permits, which means, unfortunately, rarely. My 3 kids and hubby need to see me too!

And lastly: I’d really like to revive the “freebies” offerings. I’d love if some designers or (photographers who also dabble in design!) send in some templates, or blends, or textures or even business tips, and I will add them to the freebies page. It was lots of fun during the holiday rush, and I love the karma of sharing. So, send things in via blogsofphotogs@gmail.com and we will get the freebies going again!  Yes, you! You have something to share I’m sure!

Thanks everyone for all your support and kind emails and comments. I read every single one, and I appreciate so much the enjoyment other photographers get out of each other’s work. Thanks again!

Something a little different today… Peter Hurley is an extremely talented commercial photographer who has studios in both NY and LA. He also has several affliate photographers working for him, and a peek through his portfolio will show you how accomplished he is. However, today I’m linking to his awesome video about “how to get a great headshot” (shot by sceneinteractive.com,) find the video here. This video is geared towards actors who are looking for the perfect headshot, but I think all photographers would also benefit from the info too~ always great to hear/see another photographer’s working style. Enjoy!
