There are so many photographers out there in the world. Some of the most amazing photographers you might not have even heard of. Is that not crazy? I mean seriously though is that not just insane? Some of the most amazing photos ever taken, and you won't even know about it. So today I wanted to share some amazing, inspiring photographers that I have been following for a while. These are people that I love showing up on my social media feed and I love seeing their photos. They are people that inspire me on a daily basis.

Outdoor Photographers that you should know by Bessie Young Photography

Thomas Heaton

So this individual actually was one of my biggest Inspirations into starting my YouTube channel. One of my friends randomly stumbled across this Channel and sent it my way and I was forever obsessed. He take some of the beautiful most amazing photos and he's the nicest most genuine person. If you don't follow his YouTube channel make sure to do so.

Chris Burkard

I found Chris via Instagram. I don't know how it had taken me so long to actually find his stuff. He has millions of followers and is absolutely amazing. To be even more awesome is he's based out of Pismo Beach which is a place that I travel to on a regular basis. Most of his stuff is about surfing or something related to the ocean , so if that's something that interests you make sure to head on over to his page and check him out.

Erin Sullivan

I started following Erin about a year ago. Just recently I saw her on the CreativeLive website. I got so excited for her and how far she's come within just a little while. There aren't very many landscape photographers that are female, at least I haven't been able to find many. This Girl Is Awesome!

Basically she is everything outdoors and is freaking rocking her photography. (I want to be like her when I grow up :) ).

Max Rive

I honestly don't even know what to say about Max. His landscape photos are out of this world. I wish I could take photos and edit like this guy. Basically, I look forward to all his photos. Umm… to be honest, I just wish he posted more because holy moly!

Joshua Cripps

I love when I find photographers that are super badass and close to home. Joshua is based out of Mammoth Lakes and he has an awesome YouTube channel and all sorts of online courses that you can take.

Gunnar Freyr

This guy is Iceland through and through. If you love Iceland then you need to check out his images. He provides some of the most gorgeous moody images of Iceland I have ever seen.

I actually found him via a different Youtubbers channel which was pretty awesome and I am so dang glad that I did. He is awesome!

I love the artistic eye that Gunnar has.

Isaac Spotts

Where do I even start. If you love Wildlife photography do not look any further. Isaac is so amazing. I started following him on Instagram when he had about a thousand followers maybe even less. This guy has skyrocketed and has been so successful! He basically works out of the Grand Teton National Park, at least that's where the majority of his pictures are taken. Not to mention he's super funny in his Instagram stories are amazing!
