NO TIME TO BROWSE? PIN IT FOR LATER!

15 of the best photography blogs and sites to help you become a better photographer

I love my site – but it can’t do everything for everyone. I’d like to suggest some of the best photography blogs that might help you out on your quest to become the photographer you dream of being.

Clickin Moms


Clickin Moms (https://www.clickinmoms.com/ )

If you’re a ‘chap’ rather than a ‘chapette’ – don’t be put off by the title of this site. It offers great advice – especially for those interested in capturing stunning pictures of their kids.

Perfect For – Parents/photographers looking to take wonderful photographs of their children.

FStoppers


https://fstoppers.com/

FStoppers is a fantastic photography blog sharing great stories and obviously some wonderful photographs. But check out their education section for some awesome tips.

Perfect For – Photographers looking for short, simple tips and advice.

Chase Jarvis


https://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/

Chase Jarvis produces short and very well produced videos about all aspects of photography. He’s built his reputation and brand with these videos and by being a master of his craft.

Perfect For – Photographers who prefer to learn via video.

Lightroom Killer Tips 


https://lightroomkillertips.com/

Combining a mix of blogs articles and videos – this site is narrowly focused on getting the most from Adobe Lightroom. So if you have reached the point where you want to delve into post processing – give this a whirl!

Perfect For – Photographers who like to tweak and improve their images after the shoot

Digital Photography School 


https://digital-photography-school.com/

Darren Rowse has created one of the most popular digital photography websites in the world. There is something for everyone on here. They keep it simple and easy to follow. You may well lose a few days with the sheer volume of content!

Perfect For – Digital photographers of all skill levels.

Fro Knows Photo


https://froknowsphoto.com/

Jared Polin (AKA The Fro) is a photography personality in every sense of the word! He produces short, very entertaining videos sharing excellent photography tips and advice.

Perfect For – Photographers looking for energetic video lessons.

Photo Focus


https://photofocus.com/

Founded by Scott Bourne, Photo Focus now has a huge number of contributors and a vast catalogue of content. What I like best is the ease of use, particularly the ‘Your Focus’ menu that can get you to the most relevant advice quickly.

Perfect For – Photographers looking for inspiration as well as knowledge.

Click it up a notch


https://clickitupanotch.com/

Although Courtney Slazinik proudly describes herself as a ‘momtographer’ being a mum isn’t a prerequisite to learn from her excellent site.

Perfect For – Momtographers, wannabe Momtographers and ermmm…. non-momtographers. It’s really for anyone who wants to switch to Manual photography.

Strobist


https://strobist.blogspot.co.uk/

Strobist is a site dedicated to getting the most from your flash. It describes itself as “world’s most popular resource for photographers who want how to learn to use their flashes like a pro.” But don’t let that put you off if you’re a rookie. There are great entry-level flash tips as well.

Perfect For – Photographers looking for the light!

Jasmine Star


https://www.jasminestarblog.com/

Jasmine’s fabulous blog features helpful ‘how to’ guides on all aspects of digital photography, but is particularly focused on Wedding Photography.

Perfect For – Wedding and Event Photographers

Light Stalking


https://www.lightstalking.com/

A wide range of professional and talented amateur photographers share their tips and advice along with their gorgeous images. Articles are usually short and to the point.

Perfect For – Photographers looking for straightforward advice and feedback on images.

Scott Kelby


https://scottkelby.com/

Scott is an accomplished photographer, writer and teacher. He has created an educational community for photographers, Photoshop and Lightroom users.

Perfect For – Photographers looking to get the most from Photoshop & Lightroom.

Joe McNally


https://blog.joemcnally.com/

Joe opts for a more photo essay style approach to his photography teaching. His posts tend to be longer than most showcased here, which I personally love, they are also broken up by his stunning images.

Perfect For – The photographer who wants the story behind the lesson.

Creative Live


https://www.creativelive.com/

While this site is focused on selling courses, they are free if you’re willing and able to watch them live. Some of the world’s best photographers teach here.

Perfect For – The photography video webinar fan.

Skip Cohen University


https://www.skipcohenuniversity.com/

A slightly different approach, in that they advocate live learning – rather than self-serve photography education. That being said, the blog has some great content & advice.

Perfect For – Talented amateur photographers interested in going pro.
