  • Oh man, I would love to own Photoshop of any kind, much less the newest version!! My name is Nikki Schreiner and I have to say, YOU have greatly inspired me in the photography dept. (and to start a blog 6 years ago) and my close personal friend, AngelaAbeytaPhotography.com is of course, another fave.

  • My name is Farrah, and my favorite photographer is Steven Siegel. He took lots of amazing pictures of NYC during the 80s and they’re really cool photos.

  • Hey this is a great feature, I’d love that. In the past, I’ve been using tiltshiftmaker.com for that effect, but only very rarely as it is a bit of a hassle. Which means most my photos are effect-less, plain and real. Would love to play around with it though -so, would be tres happy to be amongst the happy three winning this.

    Gerhard Richter, even though he’s more a painter, but a photographic one at that.

    THANKS, Kathleen

  • Oh so exciting! That tilt-shift effect looks so gorgeous! Would be awesome to have. As for my favorite photographer, that’s kind of an impossible question, but lately I’ve been thinking a lot about Gregory Crewdson’s work, the scope of it, the production of it, the creation of a whole world…

  • I am still absolutely amazed by Henri Cartier Bresson and his street photography. I think that’s also the reason I’m head over heels for B+W phtoography.

    – Jessie

  • I can’t pick a favorite, but I love any of the photographers that work for National Geographic. The pictures are stunning.

  • These days there are so many beautiful photographers and blogs to inspire me – you, Ez at Creature Comforts, Tristan at Besotted Brand, and too many to name! But, I’d have to say that the top spot goes to my friend Scott Dickerson. He took my very first photography class with me (back in high school – we used a darkroom!) I credit him with giving me that bug to first take photos. He’s now a professional photographer in Alaska, and I am not only astounded and inspired by his pictures, I’m also grateful that in some way we were part of each other’s journeys.

    Sorry – that turned into a sappy post! ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for the chance to win!

  • My favorite photographer is Sally Man. Her work is beyond beautiful even if it is seen as controversial by some.

  • I’m intrigued with PSE11 and all the new stuff I’m hearing about, but I just bought PSE10 and can’t really justify spending more money on a new program. But if I won it…

    There are so many photographers I admire, it’s hard to narrow it down. There are the greats like Ansel Adams and Annie Leibovitz and then there are the lovely, more everyday photos of Tara Whitney, Maggie Holmes, Candace Stringham and Katrina Kennedy. I guess my favorites would have to be anyone who is taking a photo of someone I love because those are my favorite photos.

  • My name is Rachel Barringer and my favorite photographers are Elle Moss and Dan Mountford!

  • My favorite photographer is Annie Leibovitz. She’s such an inspirational figure, not only for artists, but for women as well.

  • My name is Sadie and my favorite photographer is Sylvia Elzafon, she does an incredible series on Shelter Dogs to gain awareness for animals in kill shelters.

  • Annie Leibovitz is my favorite, which is probably odd considering that I personally hate taking portraits…

    Oh, and my name is Nicole. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • I would LOVE a copy of Photoshop Elements 11! I just started grad school, and I’ve been using my husband’s desktop PC copy of Photoshop to edit my photos, but would love to be able to use a version on my Mac laptop so I can take it with me and edit wherever I am – life changing. It’s hard to pick a favorite photographer, but really love Vivian Maier. Thanks so much for the great giveaways (and your beautiful blog)!

He inspires me to take beautiful pictures, although I’m not great at it and I’m only armed with an iPad 2. But when he says he likes my photos, I feel for even one moment I can be as good as him when it comes to photography.

  • My name is Melinda and my favorite photographer is Jerry Uelsmann. While relatively unknown in the outside world, Jerry is a surrealist photographer who (by darkroom no less) created beautiful surrealist portraits and art pieces by manipulating photographs in the dark room to create beautiful dreamlike pieces. Its something I’ve admired and have tried to recreate in a dark room setting, but found better success with photoshop. In fact, having a better (updated version) of photoshop would be wonderful for my art (click my name if you wish to view it!).

He was daring and unafraid to capture everything. Never demanding straight posture or ‘say, cheese!’ He just captured what he saw in all its grainy glory. Never mind the occasional missing head, bad focus or un-namable blur that was probably my sisterโ€™s ballet skills at work. He kept ever picture and we still unearth shoe boxes labeled โ€˜my girlsโ€™ with every lost tooth, first day of school and new bike on record. To this day I get excited watching film turn into something great and I will never demand of my subjects to โ€˜say cheese!โ€™

I can never seem to get my photos to portray what i am actually seeing though. The beauty of real life gets lost in translation some how. Griffioen focuses on those small things, the unspectacular things, but is able to capture their true beauty; the way someone who takes times to notice them see’s them.

  • I can’t help myself, I’m always drawn back to Jill Greenberg’s vaguely fantastical and luminous portraits.

  • My name is Laura Hammond and my favorite photographer(s) are my little brothers. They’re 4.5 and 5.5 and when I send them off in a tizzy with my Nikon, they come back with the most perfectly unabashed shots. They aren’t hindered by the limits of formal photography and consequently, they take very original photos. On a more physical note…they’re closer to the ground ha. So their “angle” is inadvertently fresh and new. They’ve accidently taken some of the best macro shots on my memory cards, whether they be a catalog of bugs or a repetoir of dusty garage corner pictures. It think it’s their unbridled enthusiasm for capturing what’s right in front of them, right at that very second, that makes them my favorite artists.

  • My favorite photographer is either a girl named Katelyn Kosmicki. She is’nt a professional, but she has done some really gutsy things like melting crayons on faces and things of that sort. I think it’s inspiring adn very cool. You are an inspiration of course, as well.

  • My name is Donna and my favorite photographer is Richard Sexton who I discovered because we share a last name.

  • My name is Aubree Shay and I’m just getting into photography so I don’t really have a favorite but am taking an online class with Karen Russell and love her work.

  • I JUST installed Elements 10! Of course they come out with a new version ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m really into Trey Ratcliff of Stuck in Customs right now… love how he uses his photography on various social networks!

  • My name is Kirsten and I’m really into the work of Katie of the blog Katie’s Pencil Box but I’m also a fan of photographers like Dorothea Lange and Gordon Parks.

  • Hi ABM girls,
    My favourite photographer is Bill Henson, despite his controversial subject matter – or maybe for it?
    Henson’s work evokes such passion in me, it makes me feel alive.
    Yours,
    Danielle

  • Shay. Dave & Bonnye Barron, of Barron & Barron Photography…of course. They’re also some of my fav people :o)

  • My name is Gabrielle and my favorite photographer is Sandra Juto, who I follow on instagram and is an artist working in Berlin ๐Ÿ™‚

  • I’m Kelli and my favorite photographer is Annie Liebovitz. Stunning timeless works!

  • My name is Julia Redder and one of my favorite photographers is Juergen Teller (hard to decide though).

  • Laura Louise here. I can’t say I have a favourite photographer — apps like Instagram have totally empowered millions of laypeople to start documenting their lives through photography, and that’s what I like looking at best: the photographs of so many strangers is so fascinating to me!

  • I would love to win this. I’m trying to do a book for my daughters first birthday.

  • My name is Andy. My favorites photographers is Steve McCurry and David Slater, who spent several days documenting the lives of a group of monkeys that is at stake. At one point he left his equipment – mounted on a tripod, Canon 5D SLR – without care. Benefited from one of the macaques and curious and took a pretty decent fellow series of photos. Of course, I am also an amateur photographer and I like to take pictures.
    So please, count me in the contest.
