SLR Lounge, a photography tutorial blog, started with just a few writers blogging about anything and everything photography related. It was created by professional photographers as a way of giving back to the photography profession that had provided them with so much. The blog shared knowledge, experiences, mistakes and successes in the competitive and saturated market.

The readership slowly grew, and more and more photographers expressed interest in submitting articles, writing reviews, and/or having their work featured. Today our editors and staff writers work hard each week to bring you useful, applicable, and sometimes even enlightening articles. We keep our ear to the street and respond to any questions our assistants, friends, and other photographers have. We research new lighting equipment and techniques, test new software, and discover new photography locations every week and write them directly for you.

So we hope you enjoy reading. We are always on the lookout for contributors, so if you are interested in writing for our blog, please email to: Contact@slrlounge.com
