Some of the following photogs may not be professional shooters, but the photos they take are worth exploring. Check it out:
Caleb Ralston
@calebralston
Caleb goes on far-flung treks through the wilderness in search of photos that should all be your next screensaver.
Edgar Woo
@woosupreme
On the opposite end of the spectrum is Edgar, who is much more urban in his approach. His photos of cityscapes capture unique lines and contrasts, while his nightlife shots make you want to pack your bags and leave for Miami.
Janske
@janske
Janske’s photos have an unusual effect—you’ll want to fall into each one and surround yourself in the sense of peace they emit.
Jess
@miss_jess
We love the eye Jess has for all things patterned and textured. Her photos take something mundane—like a stairwell or cup of pencils—and turn it into a complex piece of art.
Parker Fitzgerald
@parkerfitzhenry
If you’re looking for an interesting new twist on portraits, check out Parker’s stellar point of view. He typically brings natural elements into the frame that serve to highlight the model.
David Guttenfelder
@dguttenfelder
There is something so wonderfully haunting about David’s photos—they leave you wanting more and more. He easily captures the spirit of the scenery no matter where he is, whether it’s the Iowa State Fair or an alley way in Seoul.
Ira Block
@irblockphoto
Epic action photos? Check. Never-before-seen landscapes? Check. Unique perspective? Check, check, and double check. We wouldn’t expect anything less on the Instagram feed for this National Geographic photographer.
