Recently we were given a lecture on the work and blogs of other photographers and similar practitioners, this was a method for us to get an insight into how our blogs should look and feel if we were aiming for a completely professional feel and look to our work.
The beauty of Blogs is that there isn’t a specific template on how they should look; you have complete artistic control for where you want to take your blog. This allows everyone to put their own identity on their blogs.
Here are a few of the blogs that were shown to us in the seminar…
Cup Of Pea - http://cupofpea.blogspot.co.uk/ |
Hot Shoe - http://hotshoeblog.wordpress.com/ |
Little Brown Mushroom - http://littlebrownmushroom.wordpress.com/ |
100 Words Photography - 1000wordsphotographymagazine.blogspot.com/ |
Lenscratch - http://www.lenscratch.com/ |
The stand out blog for
me was Lenscratch, as much as I like blogs to offer an in-depth opinion and
spin on what you’re looking at, I see them more as a springboard of
inspiration. What I want from a blog is to have the opportunity to jump through
loads of pictures and be inspired by what I see, but not only that, I want the
opportunity to read articles and learn more as well. And I feel that this is
exactly what Lenscratch offers me as a reader.
This is something I will be taking on board big time when my blog starts to gain more substance and pace.
