Over the holiday break, I spent time catching up on and reading photography blogs that I consider to be inspiring and educational. It can be difficult to know exactly which blogs are worth following and why I like to re-evaluate where I’m spending my valuable time.
In this blog post, I would like to share with you ten photography blogs that I intend on reading this year.

Canadian wedding photographers Rob and Lauren are the co-creators of Photography Concentrate and have extensive experience in shooting weddings and portraits.
Whilst their love for photography hasn’t changed, their love of teaching has grown and is evident in the quantity of education courses and resources they’ve created to help photographers like you.
