Peter Usman, found on Instagram as @peterusmanphoto, is a beauty and fashion photographer based out of Abuja, Nigeria. This electric shot of music producer Milakeyzz defines Usman’s style with a clean backdrop and the three-quarter portrait look or closer. Everything in the frame needs to come together in harmony when photos are this intimate, and his track record for nailing it runs deep.
David Martín Castán, known as @tucucumba on Instagram, is a landscape photographer that has traveled the world in pursuit of his craft. As a workshop leader and online photography course teacher, Castán helps others to feel the joy he has while photographing. This particular photo was taken in Dolomitas, in the Tre Cime di Lavaredo after a big storm.
Carlos Sussmann, known as @kagloosphoto on Instagram, is a still-life photographer specializing in products, food, and beverages. He calls his style “high-end minimalism.” Sussmann clarified, “My intention is to highlight products in a minimalistic environment, so all the attention is focused on the product.”
Matthew Malkiewicz is @losttracksoftime on Instagram and he has found his calling with photographing trains. “My galleries capture my travels and experiences across our countryside,” said Malkiewicz. “Some near home, others far away and remote, all uniquely memorable.” He adds that it’s a passion that brought him to where he is in life today.
In 2014, PetaPixel ran a feature about Malkiewicz’s engaging work.
Karthik Sriraman, or @karthik.carolos on Instagram, is a nature and wildlife photographer based in Chennai, India. During his free time away from being an IT Project Manager, Sriraman seeks out his wildlife subjects like this flamingo. This photo was taken with the Sony Alpha 7 III and 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS lens, his “go-to” gear for birds and wildlife.
Sriraman’s work has been featured by Discovery, Sony Alpha, and National Geographic, but that notoriety hasn’t stalled his desire to do more. “My dream is to capture the Northern Lights and emperor penguins,” he told PetaPixel.
