My Favourite modern day digital photographer is an American named Scott Kelby.

His talent in all fields of photographer is sometimes mind blowing IMO.
I have his boxset containing 4 books that simplistically explain the art of digital photography.
I particularly love the colours he always seems to capture. I wish I had 10% of his talent, I would be a very happy man.
Enjoy!
A fantastic image @shaunwistow and may I congratulate you on being so brave to explain the reason behind it.
There are not many people I know who would be so forthcoming.
I hope this little part of the world wide web has helped you along a little in your recovery.
I am sure your holiday will be amazing too. I must confess I am a little jealous.
Have an amazing time and take care my friend.
Wayne

I started photography just because of Irving Penn. What more to say...
Thanks Wayne, not a patch on the beautiful pictures you've posted. But I've also got to add that this forum has in a way helped my recovery. I've been suckered into this rabbit hole, but it's helped me focus on what I now class as a passion, oh & the "I must try everything" it occupies my mind in a good way, meaning I'm not thinking of negative things.
I'm a proud Yorkshireman, I tell the truth & wholly admit my faults, I'm the kind of bloke that speaks my mind, what's the point in pussy footing around. Hey if someone doesn't like it then move along is my attitude.
Anyway, enough of my issues, I look forward to more pictures & this thread flourishing.
You are a kind chap.
Cracking shot mate, well done.Great thread
Ok, this is not by a famous photographer (taken by me), but it's had a very big impact. About 9 months ago I had a serious breakdown. I took the picture about 3 years ago & had it printed onto a canvas. It's a picture of one of the many boardwalks in Alvor.
Whilst trying to come back to the "real world" after my breakdown I would stand and stare at the canvas & remember the great holidays. I don't mind admitting that many a tear has been shed.
I'm now chuckling away as i shall see that view in just over a week. So what might seem like an average image for some, it is a very poignant image for me.

@shaunwistow
I'm humbled by your honesty and story, I think - from personal experience - it's a good thing to say these things out loud? It's very much not an average image in any sense. Where is Alvor incidentally? Yours - I.
Thats a wonderful image Shaun. I work, at a tangent, in mental health and I know how important positive imagery can be. You have illustrated that beautifully.Great thread
