Clickin Moms Mentors, Staff, and Vendor Partners scoured the websites of thousands of photographers for fresh talent, powerful artistic voices, and creative evolution. From the resulting list of nominees, a selection panel comprised of 29 talented photographers and image curators voted for those whose work they are most excited to follow this year, and we are thrilled to present this list of the top vote-getters as our “100 Photographers to Watch in 2015.”
If you’re looking to be captivated and creatively reinvigorated, you’re in for a treat! We guarantee you will find plenty of new inspiration alongside longtime favorites who continue to produce new imagery that will remind you why you fell in love with photography in the first place. ENJOY!
