Photography–related links

Pursue photography for some time and one is bound to have a selection of favourite photography–related Web sites. Most of the links to the sites that we have can be divided into two categories: temporary links and links to the sites that we visit on a more or less regular basis. The former normally address any one–time issues, e.g. mastering a new technique, resolving a problem, or researching a piece of equipment. The latter lead to resources that present enough artistic and/or informational value to turn to regularly. The links below belong to the second category and are occasionally updated to reflect the changes in the online photographic resources and my preferences.


  • ByThom.com

    A wealth of information on Nikon equipment and, to a lesser extent, general photographic issues.

  • CameraHobby.com

    Superb writing on things photographic and not only from a photographer based in Vancouver.

  • Digital Photography Review

    News on and in–depth reviews of digital photography equipment.

  • KenRockwell.com

    Although Ken's writing style might be a bit too presumptuous at times and I wish he could pay more attention to the site's design, he generally gives an experienced, honest and trustworthy opinion on things photographic; his incredible sense of humour is another thing that many photography–related Web sites lack.

  • La Pura Vida Gallery

    This is where I go to see new interesting work that more often than not is in styles totally different to mine.

  • LensWork Magazine

    One of the rare resources on the Internet that concentrates on the creative process and understanding of photography beyond craft. I recommend subscribing to Brooks' podcasts (free) and, if finances allow, the magazine. Also, check out the LensWork Technology Blog.

  • The Luminous Landscape

    One of the most useful—albeit often controversial—photography–related resources on the Web. Updated on an almost daily basis, this resource will keep you busy reading for quite some time. Quite honestly, though, most of Michael's photographs do not speak to me and I find them somewhat mediocre. Very good business acumen, though.

  • Medium Format Library Page

    The medium format users hang out place. Also offers a lot of information on general photographic issues.

  • NikonLinks.com

    This Web site puts together links to everything Nikon. This is the place to go if you need to find reviews or general information on Nikon gear. I am the editor of its Russian and Chinese language Pages.

  • The Online Photographer

    After a few years of Luminous Landscape dedication Mike Johnston apparently decided to fly solo and established this photography blog. It has now become one of the best quality photographic resources online.

  • Photo.net

    Reviews, opinions, recommendations, and so on and so forth. The main value of the site lies in its forums, though, where you can find in–depth information on pretty much any topic or piece of gear.

  • Rob Galbraith

    Digital photography news and occasional reviews (supposedly for professional photographers).
