Henri Cartier-Bresson
Difficult to start by anyone else. We would like to encourage everyone to visit the website of
the Henri Cartier-Bresson foundation, but also to visit the foundation itself, a beautiful
space with new exhibitions three times a year.
Frank Horvat
Every webphotomag reader should visit this site! Franck Horvat's book,
"Entre vues",
was a revelation for us, and there is no excuse to ignore it as
the contents are actually available for free online! Imagine being the witness of
intimate discussions with Edouard Boubat, Helmut Newton, Sarah Moon, Josef Koudelka,
Mario Giacomelli, Eva Rubinstein, Jean-Loup Sief, Marc Riboud, Don McCullin, Robert Doisneau,
Hiroshi Hamaya, Takeji Iwamiya, Javier Vallhonrat and Joel Peter Witkin!
Online magazines
Zone Zero
Pedro Meyer provides a newsletter, a magazine and a monthly editorial that never misses to raise good points. Zone Zero would be great if it were just that but it also is a permanent collection of exhibitions with an incredible quantity of quality work available...
EI8HT
Ei8ht isn't strictly an "online" magazine, although it started that way. It is now also published as a high quality quaterly paper magazine. Ei8ht presents series of photographs that bring to photojournalism a very british originality.
Photography at about.com
I don't know why it seems surprising, but the photographic news at about.com are of a high level of interest if you like webphotomag: the photograph does seem to have the higher hand over equipment. A vast collection of links also makes the site a good starting point when looking for reference.
HEAD magazine
HEAD magazine takes the FLASH approach to a quality online magazine. Published monthly, they take the approach of publishing no textual content at all... It is just images and it is great !
JPG magazine
JPG magazine is a quarterly mag, on paper, that also aims at showing what the web has to offer, in terms of images.
Photographie.com
(in French only) This site is a wonderful resource on what happens in the photography world in France. Sometimes we would wish for some articles to be available in English too as to share the views which are often very interesting.
Communities
Photo.net
Extremely active community, with particularly interesting authors contributing on a regular basis. Photo.net has managed to develop a "photo-critique" site that avoids the pitfalls of the genre, and where quality and originality surface easily.
deviantART
A community that isn't limited to photography, and where it is possible to encounter a lot of creativity and originality.
The Royal Photographic Society
The Royal Photographic Society aims at nothing less than to "promote excellence in the art and science of photography"! Of interest, their collection (hosted at the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television, in Bradford(UK)), their prints and slide exhibition and their awarding of the coveted LRPS, ARPS and FRPS distinctions. There are members of the RPS all over the globe and while it is a British organisation it feels very much worldwide. The forum, http://www.rpsforum.org, is a very friendly place.
Women Photographers
A site devoted to women photographers, drawing attention to the fact that, more often than not, women feel their work is not taken seriously. Hat off to Graham Wainwright for such an initiative (which also shows that guys can take the fist steps, sometimes)
Digital Photography Review
Phil Askey's site is probably the main place to go when looking for information on a digital camera as the site reviews so many of them in a consistent format with photo samples to download. The forums are very busy and the signal-to-noise ratio is really low, yet it is one of the main gathering point of photographers on the web and sometimes, something nice appears (like Robert Maybach's "Faces of Tibet" featured in webphotomag #2).
Photo Camel
An active and friendly community that both runs forums an photo competitions.
Miscellaneous
PhotoLinks
Photolink is a large directory of everything photographic. It can be used as a
portal, a way to look for things at random. Its main use is probably in getting
your website referenced
