There’s over 3 billion photos on Flickr, the vast majority being dull to anyone but the photographer.
Yet there are so many gems among the dirt. Sometimes i come over all American Beauty; overwhelmed by how much talent there is out there.
Here’s a small selection of photographers who i think make beautiful pictures. I know nothing about these people except an appreciation for their fine eye.
I’ve picked out just one image, but each of their photo streams are worth exploring. Get lost in them.
And a few more who don’t allow blogging of their photos:
Who is your favourite photographer on Flickr?
Alfie Goodrich

I like Anna Osk. Strange in a way, because her stuff is super posed, and I like that part of the aesthetic a lot. But my favourite thing about your photos – the reason I started following the blog in the first place – has always been the live rock shots and how they capture the moment.
Anyway, here’s my favourite of her photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/annaosk/1798093061/in/set-72157601833523213/
Joshua Black Wilkins – Old Cameras, New Subjects

I have picked Nature, as he has some gorgeous photos. What’s so deeply touching about these photos to me is that it shows how much beauty is there is in Sri Lanka. Especially when much of the focus on the international media is about the continuing war taking place over there.
Being Sri Lankan, makes me smile too see his photos, but it also brings out a sadness, why doesn’t the people there see what they missing out on.
Absolutely love Yosigo, their composition is sublime. Thanks for this sweet list Dan.
photo #1 nearly stopped my heart when your website loaded. it’s that beautiful.
btw i’m a huge fan of your blog/photography!
Can I honestly say “there are too many”?
Kevin Russ would definitely be one of them – http://www.flickr.com/photos/pattersonminx/
I’ll flick through my faves and see if there’s a consistency to who 😉
