The following list is not displayed in any particular order and has been filtered for relevance to wedding photography. So now that we’ve established that RSS Feeds are good, it’s time to add content to our readers. That’s inspiration on the go! For more information on the basics of RSS feeds, check out Wikipedia’s entry for RSS Feeds. The best part is that with so many free mobile readers, getting this content on your smart phones, iPhones, and iPads is easier than ever.
So instead of going to 10 different sites for your inspiration, you can log into to your reader (also called an aggregator) and view it all from there. You can also apply filters to weed out any unwanted information and sort by a variety of attributes, including date, source, and relevance. Using RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds, you can stay updated with multiple blogs without leaving a single site. What photographers do you follow? Are you visiting each of their sites individually and checking back daily to find updates? If so, you might be wasting time. As long as we’re not aiming to duplicate shots, why not bring in aspects of Jessica Claire’s candid poses, Image is Found’s vision of reflections and shadows, or Jerry Ghionis’ eye for creative lighting? It’s why business schools use case studies, why Usher idolized Michael Jackson, and why hundreds of wedding photographers keep up with Jasmine Star or Ben Chrisman’s work. As part of honing a craft and improving overall quality, it’s important to stay up to date on what everyone else is doing, whether it’s their lighting setups, their marketing strategies, or even the locations or poses they’re using to create their imagery. Of course, inspiration can also come from other photographers. From movies and television to books and magazines, drawing from different aspects of life can be the cornerstone of creativity. Photography inspiration can come from anywhere.
