Research

Hey y'all! I found this site called art.sy, Its a database filled with all types of works of fine art, and they have a great section on photography!
You can "follow" artists, see similar works, and even see how much certain pieces are selling for. Here is a screen shot from the website.
In order to make an account, you have to request an invite or be invited by someone..but it's completely free! If anyone is interested, I have about 15 invites left and would be more than willing to add in your email!

Brenizer Method

Ryan Brenizer is most famous for his creative portrait photos using his method, Brenizer Method. Below is an article and video of Brenizer Method. I have also attached his website to see more examples.

Photoeye

This is a website I like to look at every other month. It's a site called photoeye.com
It's a list of different kinds of photographers and what they classify their work as.

I like looking at Nick Brandt and Tom Chambers's works.
Enjoy! :)

Anna Di Prospero

Anna Di Prospero is an Italian photographer who is currently working on a self-portrait series she calls "With You".  However, in every self-portrait is she pictured with a member of her family or one of her friends.  The portraits aren't meant to be all about her, but instead they represent the relationship she has with each person in the image.  I think that the color and reflections in all her photos are really stunning:





The above pictures are self-portraits taken with her grandmother, sister, father and mother, respectively. See the rest of the photos in the series here.
