I am proud to announce my affiliation as a member of the council of photographers for the photo website for digital photographer WeArePhotographers.com.
The website which targets high the end amateur, as well as professional photographers. It will offer photo tips, answers to photographic questions as well as periodic photo contests with cash prizes judged by leading professional photographers and editors.
In a statement issued by Stephen Teerlizzi, CEO of WeArePhotographers.com, he said, “Approximately every 12 seconds, a digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) camera is sold in the U.S. with the dream of making outstanding, potentially sellable, photographs. We help people make that dream a reality. Access to mentoring is key.”
Besides myself, the professional Council of Photographers includes a Pulitzer Prize Photography judge, several Pulitzer Prize winners, a leading sports photographer whose pictures are in the Baseball and Football Halls of Fame, and a former photography editor of National Geographic magazine.
“As someone who believes passionately in photography’s power to communicate, I am excited to be part of this project. I hope we can encourage others to grow their skills and have fun creating visual images with impact,” said Tom Kennedy, founder of Kennedy Media and former managing editor of multimedia at Washingtonpost. Newsweek Interactive and former director of photography at National Geographic Society.
To help further improve members’ photography, WeArePhotographers.com will offer a “Photo Gauntlet™” where a professional photographer from our Council of Photographers will critique selected photographs on-line. This critique is complemented by our monthly contests that provide a venue for users to gauge their skills against their peers, win valuable prizes and gain exposure for their work.
