The mysteriously named Dear Susan is a collaborative work by a number of photographers, publishing generally long-form articles on photography and the tools of photography. It has no advertising and is beholden to no commercial interest, which makes it a pretty rare beast these days. And since the content does not need to be tailored to generating traffic, the quality is high and the site is always worth a visit.
Vieri Bottazini generously dedicates considerable time to publishing free, erudite articles on both photography and the tools of photography. For the latter, his blog is the place to go if you’re interested in the Hasselblad X-System. And while you’re there, indulge yourself in his fantastic wide-vista landscape photography.
Daniel Cox / Natural Exposures
Daniel Cox is a widely published professional wildlife photography. His Natural Exposures website promotes his wide range of photo tours, but also provides a wealth of writing about wildlife photography and related equipment. In particular he writes at length and in depth about Panasonic Micro Four Thirds cameras and lenses. Generally I’m skeptical about “gear” sites, but this is free of the usual wild self-promotion and bad writing, and provides an excellent free resource for Lumix owners.
Jake Horn is a landscape photographer exclusively using film, in the tradition of Galen Rowel. His web site is clean and uncluttered (yes, I could indeed learn some lessons there) and features some beautiful photography and a whole selection of succinct reviews of cameras, lenses and films. If ever you wondered why anybody would shoot film in 2018, I suggest you take a look here.
Ira Meyer chronicles the Polar regions through his vivid, romantic photography. His style is full of energy and light, a refreshing change from the gloom and darkness which many seem to want to emphasise in the high latitudes. His latest book, Ice At The Ends of the Earth, has received a well-desrved enthusiastic reception.
