Famous Photographers
One of the best ways to improve your photography is to look at great images and learn from famous photographer’s work.
For this reason we asked our instructors to create a list of famous photographers. We divided them into different categories, with the objective of helping you find those that tend to shoot the type of photography you enjoy.
Beware that the categories are just a reference; some photographers may fit more than one category.
We recommend using this list to search for photographers who shoot the type of photography you enjoy. Once you’ve found one you like, we encourage you to learn more about the photographer’s work.
Hope this list helps you!
