SEPTEMBER 2009 FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHERS

Hey hey! Who wants a look at some wonderful photography? Today we're delighted to announce September's PhotoShelter Featured Photographers! Their selection of images will be displayed in the "Images" tab of the product tour.

There's a distinct international flair among September's featured photographers. In fact, 12 of the 20 are based outside the US. So, you'll see images like:

• Rafa Rivas' (Spain) intense images of unlucky matadors
• Sephi Bergerson's (India) unique approach to Indian weddings (not to mention a very nice integration of PhotoShelter with his custom WordPress website)
• Carl Pendle's (UK) high quality collection of lifestyle, food, and travel stock photography
• Dave Walsh's (Ireland) travels aboard several Greenpeace expeditions

And we were captivated by so much more. Many of these photographers sell their work through PhotoShelter as prints, products, stock photography and personal use licenses. Their websites are great examples of how you can customize PhotoShelter using our templates or your own designs.


Like what you see? Embed our September featured slideshow in your own website or blog by clicking the up arrow in the lower right of the slideshow.
