Conscientious Weblog

Conscientious is a blog that predominantly deals with contemporary fine-art photography (even though it is also linked to other topics that the author might find interesting). It presents a selection of photographers, with the selection based on whether the author likes their work or find it interesting. It’s really as simple as that. In addition to showcasing photographers he also links to articles about photography, and he posts reviews of photography books and interviews with photographers.

This is a weblog about fine-art photography and more that I would easily recommend to everyone who deals with photography as an artists or as a curator or organizer.
