People to follow if I am interested in wide-angle photography

Question

I am experimenting with wide-angle lens but not able to find suitable blogs and images to improve my perspective. I want to follow some people and understand their work who are famous in this field i.e. taking wide-angle pictures.

If anyone has suggestions, it will be helpful for me.

Thank you.

Answer 1

A wide angle lens is just a tool. I would expect most photographers would use a variety of lenses, so following or studying specific photographers might prove fruitless.

I guess wide angle photography is most common in landscapes, photojournalism, travel and often street photography.

You could start with some masters in genres which make more use of wide angles:

• landscapes (Ansel Adams, Galen Rowell)
• street (Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jay Maisel)
• photojournalism ( Robert Capa, Philip Jones Griffiths)

National Geographic produces a rich variety of all sorts of photographs, environmental portraits, landscapes, nature. Much of it utilizing wide angles. (there is even a book! - see comment from Itai below)

You could search on 500px and Flickr for "wide angle", or browse through categories such as landscapes.
