My Favorite Photographers in Boston, MA
I love seeing the photo stories of other photographers in New England as a Boston photographer. It’s especially interesting to see their diverse perspectives during significant events like the Black Lives Matter protests.
These Boston photographers have their specialties in portrait photography, breaking news, or in-depth stories, but they are all photojournalists. I started with a list of about 50 editorial photographers and narrowed it down to a few of my colleagues that I enjoy the most. If you want to be added to the list, please email me.
For a special treat of historic photos of Boston, peruse the archives of Jack Lueders Booth.
