Many photographers use photoblogs to promote and market their work and services. Photoblogs can be great sources of information and inspiration for photographers, as well as for anyone who likes to look at beautiful images. This post describes photoblogs and provides some examples. I’ll talk about how to create a photoblog in a future post.
Photoblogs are blogs that are made up primarily of photos. But photoblogs usually includes more than just pictures. (If pictures are the only content you want to publish, it would be easier to use an online photo hosting service like Zenfolio, Smugmug, or Flickr.)
The advantage of a photoblog is that it provides a historical or autobiographical dimension. Text gives context to the images. Often a photoblog resembles a journal or a documentary. Photoblogs are a good way to tell a story with your pictures.
Here are a few photoblogs I have looked at and benefited from. Some of these bloggers are quite well known; others aren’t. Some of the blogs are oriented towards illustrating photography techniques; others are more personal explorations of art and ideas.
