10 essential Pinterest boards for photographers
Photography blogger Nancy Young introduces 10 of the best Pinterest boards to check out for a dose of inspiration.
Photography as a form of art needs some source of inspiration from time to time. There are tons of tips and tricks for photographers of how to break your 'out of ideas' mood. I'd like to share my secret source of inspiration - it's Pinterest.
I spend hours day by day surfing for some photography ideas which this social media platform can offer. Moreover, every photographer that have risen to the top will tell you that it's all about who you know and who knows you, just as much as it's about talent, of course. Pinterest is one of the most popular and influential networks today. It gives you a great opportunity to make your photography seen by millions of people at once.
