In many cases, Twitter has become a mecca for spewing whatever comes to people’s minds. The downside to Twitter is that everyone has one; the upside is that everyone has one. So, we’ve put together a list of fashion photographers that you should be following.

Definitely take advantage of the fact that people over share on Twitter by following someone worthwhile. You’ll get a chance to see candid pics when they tweet from cool events or just share images from a day in their life (I live vicariously through famous peoples twitpics, who doesn’t?!). Our list includes controversial photographers, the man behind Purple Magazine, a fashion media genius, and some New York based photographers you may not know, but will instantly enjoy following.

Check out our list and see if your favorite photographer made it!

    You blew it with the last couple of over-sharing, superficial cornballs.

    This list would have been more interesting if it was about putting a spotlight on emerging fashion photographers, not 14 people who don’t need extra publicity.

  4. Maya says:

    Good listing! Wish there were some emerging photographers included. And maybe not Terry Richardson, because yes there is a lot of “controversy” but it’s because there are claims of harassment and inappropriate conduct, so I don’t think personally it’s good to support that by promoting him.
