Locals
Since I am still bootstrapping, and figuring out what kinds of professional photography services I’ll be able to offer, I will share a short list of photographers that I admire, who are based in (or relatively near to) Western Massachusetts. Some of them may be able to help you with your photography needs:
- Anja Schütz
- Lindsey Topham
- Candace Hope
- Chattman Photography
- Danielle Tait
- Tracey Eller
- Matthew Cavanaugh
- Helena Sullivan
- Jim Gipe
- Asher + Oak
- John Polak
- Seth Kaye
- Jennifer MacNeil (Worcester / Boston area)
There are dozens of other photographers I admire who I didn’t list because they don’t have websites and/or they don’t present themselves as providers of photography services. (Which is fine! Art is sufficient unto itself.)
