50+ Photographers on Twitter You Should Follow Now!

More and more Twitter is becoming a staple in people’s lives.  It’s becoming a place to share ideas, conversations, find interesting content, and more.  This is more than a fad.  It’s here to stay.  That’s a good thing.

As photographers who use the Internet to learn about photography, share our photographs, and just talk shop I can’t recommend Twitter, as a platform for increasing your network, enough.

If you’re new to Twitter, and you’re a photo enthusiast, it can be hard to get a true grasp on how Twitter can help you in your photographic life.  You may not be interested in what someone’s having for lunch.  You may not care to follow a celebrity trying to hit a million followers.  I understand.  Trust me.  Most photographers on Twitter understand as well.

There are some really fantastic photographers on Twitter that are sharing their work, sharing their love of photography, and willing to participate in conversations about almost anything related to photography.

We compiled this list based on criteria consisting of rankings, recommendations, and number of times listed on other photographers’ Twitter profiles.

If you don’t already have a Twitter account your first step is to sign up here.  It’s free.

Your next step is to follow these fantastic photographers using Twitter to spread the love of photography.
