These are some of my favorite photography-related resources for graphic designers, marketers, and other creatives.
Check back occasionally, the list is always being added to and updated. And when you have some time, try clicking through link-by-link—there are some real treasures here—some that might not jump out at you at first blush—people, products, tools, organizations, and so on, that will help you dig deeper into an area of interest. In addition to Photography, there are six other lists: Illustration, Marketing/PR, Print Design, Reference, Typography, and Web Design.
Most of the links are resources I use personally and/or discuss in posts here on ideabook.com (no one pays for links except for the obvious ads). Want to suggest a relevant link or a change? Use “Thoughts?” at the bottom of the page. If you find the list useful, I hope you’ll point others to it.

Enjoy!

What are the names of the two fonts (extra bold + regular serif) used in your briefings?
Love the new layout — very informative.
Thanks for the kind words Paul. The headline is Verb Cond Black. The text is Sanchez Light.
Hello Chuck, great list for sure!
Maybe you also find this one useful – Moose – https://photos.icons8.com/
It was just recently released. Photos were designed specifically to work together (pretty easy to combine them in one project)
