Here are the best places to find great photography on the Internet.
For a whole generation of photographers, Instagram has become the default channel for finding and viewing inspiring photography.
Convenient as it is, the social media platform can fall short at delivering the best work. Instagram is not designed to help you find work that is the most critically acclaimed, commercially successful, or artistically inspiring. It is designed for one goal, and one goal only: to make you spend more time on your phone so the app can serve you ads. This is the company’s singular mission, and it doesn’t care whether it achieves this with great photography, so-so photography, or cat videos.
On top of that, Instagram dictates that artists edit and format their work to help them in their mission. New posts have to appear regularly, so larger bodies of work get chopped up into bite-sized pieces. There is no place for a well-curated portfolio overview or image archive. There is no place for longer series or photo essays.
Thankfully, there are organizations that make it their business to find the world’s very best photographers and present them online. Contrary to Instagram, their business model is not built around keeping you on your device. It is built around finding the very best artists whose work can sell prints, books, products, or magazines.
I will list 50 of these organizations below. Each one of these will show you between ten and fifty amazing photographers, for a total running in the hundreds. Obviously, these links are only a tiny selection of what’s out there, but I hope it’s enough to get you started.
