A Boston Photographer’s Favorite Boston Photographers
These photographers have their specialties in portrait photography, commercial photography, breaking news, or in-depth photo 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.
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.
For a special treat of historic photos of Boston, peruse the archives of Jack Lueders Booth.
Boston Editorial Photographers
Jodi Hilton – Jodi has covered wars and revolutions across the world, but what I admire about her is how she captures the stories in our own backyard of Cambridge, Massachusetts through photography. ( https://www.jodihilton.com )

M. Scott Brauer – Update: Unfortunately, M. Scott has moved out west, but if you have a big enough photography project I’m sure he would fly back for his special touch.

His work includes capturing distinct portraits as well as covering news events through photojournalism. ( https://www.mscottbrauer.com )
