Links to inspirational portraits – Photographs and Paintings

July 12th, 2010

Okay here is your chance to give a bit back to the ProPhotoNut community. What pictures inspire you? I’ll start by sharing my first two sources of inspiration. They were given to me by others and I believe the best way to advance is to share the journey…

• Vincent Peters (flash site)
• LalliSig

Please just link to a couple of shots or sites. Get as close as you can to the action with your links and please don’t post pictures directly into your comments box. Feel free to discuss what has been posted. I’ll do my best to keep the thread tidy and the links accessible.

Rockie Nolan She’s 19 and her work simply blows my mind. Rising star. You heard it here first.

I love the portraits of Tim Schooler (flash site) almost as much as I like yours Damien.

I love the work of Dustin Diaz

That Rockie Nolan stuff is amazing. Personally I find it most inspirational when technique is revealed especially with flash. Hence why I’m a regular visitor here.
I’d like to point to Marko Saari

Far too many to mention here. Thank goodness for Google Reader. I’ve just added a few more from the links above! But here are two selected at random:

- Dieter Koelbl at http://www.dk-photo.net/
- Kenneth Linge at http://kennethlinge.squarespace.com/

What no Yervant or Gordon McGowan!
A trip to Venice with either of these guys must rank up there with a visit to Tuscany with Damien and Chris …
