Photography Forums
Posted by fotoviva on July 07, 2010 in Photography News tagged with Photo Communities, Photo Forum, Photography Chat, Photography ForumsWith today’s 24/7 internet life there is an abundance of information ready at your finger tips for budding and pro photographers alike. Here we have put together a selection of the most active photography forums where you can join up and help out other photographers and learn new techniques yourself. It’s amazing what you can pick up with forums and you may just meet some nice online photo buddies in the process!
ePhotozine
http://www.ephotozine.com/forums
This is a very active photography forum with a large amount of members (their record stats for members online at one time is 4074!). Together with the photography forum there are lots of camera equipment reviews, photo techniques, photography news and even an online store. The forum software isn’t the best though and we’d like to see it updated to make it more user-friendly.
PhotoSig
http://www.photosig.com/go/forums
PhotoSig is another great photo forum with lots of members from around the world that helps create a diverse yet ultimately helpful community. You can also get your own gallery space and ask for critiques on your photography to help you take better pictures. Unfortunately this forum software is lacking too which makes it difficult to navigate.
DcResource
http://www.dcresource.com/forums/
The Digital Camera Resource site was founded way back in November 1997. The DCRP is designed to be an unofficial resource for current and future owners of digital cameras. It is aimed more towards the consumer end, rather than the high end of photography. The forums are nice and clean with plenty of active members that help to make a vibrant community.
Talk Photography
http://www.talkphotography.co.uk
This photography forum is one of the most active we have seen, with nearly 3 million posts! Whatever day you visit, there are tons of active members and discussions going on. You can upload your own gallery images and ask for critiques to help you learn better techniques. The forum software is simple and easy to use, whilst the basic template design doesn’t detract from the main thing – discussion! We like the general lack of advertising that sometimes ruins other forums.
Forums are a great way to interact with other photographers. You can even find photographers that are local to you and organise meeting up for a shoot. Try joining one today, they are all free and full of people just like you that are looking to improve their photographic skills!
Do you know any other photography forums that are worth a mention? Do you run a forum for photographers? Write a comment to let us know…
I like browsing your website for the reason that you can always get us fresh and cool things, I think that I should at least say a thank you for your hard work.

http://www.photography-forums.co.uk is the home of Massive Photography. It might not have the numbers of some of the bigger forums but unlike some which claim 12,000 members and in fact most of them are fake accounts or parked spam accounts or even people who have joined and never posted, Massive has an enthusiastic and active core base of posters who not only post great photography, they are a family and help each other and also meet up on regular basis to chat, take photos and enjoy the art of photography together. http://www.photography-forums.co.uk IS the new place in town if you want friendly fun family atmposhere.

Yes that looks like a good forum for photographers, thanks for the heads up on that one. Think I’ll go and join now…
