This list is intended to be an informal, but extensive starting point for researching the work of contemporary photographers, and selected artists in other related media. Where possible, links will direct you to an artist’s personal site, or to their page on their gallery’s website. In some cases, links may lead to third party sites, where this represents the best single online introduction to the artist. Please feel free to email Alex to:
- suggest an artist for the list.
- suggest a better link for an existing artist.
- report any broken or changed links.
Thanks for visiting, and please share this resource with friends, colleagues, and students!
