There are a lot of inspirational professional photographers around that, I have recently realised, a lot of aspiring photographers are not aware of. These photographers can be a great way to broaden you ideas, find inspiration and even compare to your own works as a way of improvement. So I thought, why don't we share our favorite PROFESSIONAL photographers.
Anyone watch Leverage? I love Beth Riesgraf's photos because I've seen many of hers that seem to have been taken on a whim and were grainy, yet she still manages to make them look so good. Unfortunately her photography site seems to be password-protected.
My favorite photographers are
