Are you an HDR photographer? Are you on Google+ or planning to join soon? Then this is the resource for you!
This is the definitive list of HDR photographers on Google+. Use it to find interesting people, put yourself on the list so that other HDR enthusiasts can find you more easily!
I maintain this list as a service to the HDR community.
Quick info:
Version: 1.5, Last update: 21.11.2011 16:30 CET, People on the list: 1008
To +1 this list, scroll down to the end.
I have started creating this list on July 30th 2011. So it is still very young. Nevertheless, over 330 people have already added themselves. If you are on Google+, you can be on the list too. Just follow the instructions given below. If you are new to Google+, add (some of) these people to your circles, and you are off to a good start!
Also check out
My Google+ profile at +Klaus Herrmann to get interesting information and updates on my HDR work as well as information on the growing HDR community.
My flickr stream at flickr.com/photos/farbspiel/
What is HDR?
Since this page may also be visited by non-experts, I shall briefly explain the term: In a nutshell, HDR stands for High Dynamic Range – a technique for capturing scenes whose dynamic range (difference between the brightest and the darkest areas) is too high for the camera’s sensor. Not all areas of such a the scene can be exposed correctly in a single exposure. An HDR software combines multiple photos of the scene into a single image. Usually, one of the photos is exposed correctly (0EV), one is underexposed (-2EV), and one is overexposed (+2EV) as in the images above. As a result of combining the three, all areas of the image are exposed correctly.
What is this List for?
The list serves the following purposes:
- As an HDR photographer on Google+, you can get more exposure through being on this list. Other people will scan the list and maybe add you to their circles. Thus, they will see what you post.
- If you are already on Google+ you can find new inspiration by scanning through the list and looking at the different profiles to decide if you like these photographers.
- If you are new to Google+, you can quickly build a circle containing these HDR photographers to connect to the community right from the start.
When you are new to Google+, it can be a bit tough to find those people that share similar interests. There is a search function for profiles, but lots of the stuff that this search retuns (e.g. when you enter “HDR”) is random, making it very hard and frustrating to scan through the results and find the right people. Therefore, there has been a spirit of creating directory-like lists of photographers on Google+ right from the start.
The Nature of this List
This is not a best-of list. It is open! Everybody who is on Google+ and would call himself an HDR photographer is welcome to add himself or herself to it. Adding yourself is easy and explained below. The list is ordered alphabetically. So the order does not indicate any difference in quality. Usually, the guys whose name starts with ‘A’ are always better off than the others in such lists. Therefore, I encourage you to take a look at the whole list, not just the first few rows. You may be missing some very interesting photography work.
How this List is Created and Maintained
The HDR community (you!) itself creates this list. I maintain it.
Everybody who is on Google+ is free to add themselves by going to this post and writing a comment. I will collect the new people from time to time and compile a new list to update this page. So make sure you come back regularly to check who’s new. I will indicate the new people in the list.
How to Join
I have started the list with a post at Google+. Just click on the link and a new tab will open in your browser displaying the original post. The basic idea is simple: Just write a comment on this post, share it with you circles, and +1 the post. This will ensure that it is disseminated further. Remember: This is a viral mechanism that only works nicely if you share the post.
Read the details in the post itself. Once you have added yourself in a comment, you are basically on the list. You just need to allow some time for me to collect your data and add it to this list here.
That’s it!
How to Use the List
Each of the names links directly to the respective Google+ profile. Right now, there is no automatic way of adding somebody to your circles. There is also no way of adding a bunch of people with one click. Therefore, I suggest that you take some time and venture through the profiles, adding those people you like manually. This is something you should not do in a hurry. Keep coming back and continue where you left off if you need to. After all building your circles should be done with care.
The List
Here is the list. Enjoy your journey through the profiles.

in the whole article you never mentioned what HDR stands for.
HDR = High Dynamic Range.
Hi James,
I silently assumed everybody would know. 😉
But you’re right, I added a brief paragraph for the non-experts. Thanks for pointing this out!

I just noticed the extremely(!) small smily face on you website – nice :).
Hehe! Interesting that I am not the only one who noticed that.
It is not my smily. This is how wordpress collect their statistics: Every time the smily is loaded, they log the referrer.
I hope you like the list and find it useful for building your circles!
Cheers

HI There! I’m just an enthusiast, don’t have a DSLR (I have a Sony HX-5V point and shoot) neither a good tripod.
I was wondering if it’s possible, when gonna take the photos, in spite of use the exposure values( -2EV, -1EV, 0EV, +1EV, +2EV), use the time exposure (1/800, 1/400, 1/250, 1/60, 1sec, etc.).
And, in case of if it’s possible, the results will gonna be the same or better\worse.
Regards.
Hi Carlos,
any exposure value is just a relative measure. For a specific scene, the EVs translate into concrete shutter speeds (assuming you use aperture priority mode). So the answer is: Yes, you can use those shutter speeds and get good results. However, you have to adapt the concrete speeds to the scene you are shooting. The ones you listed do not have an even spacing (factor) between them, but that’s not strictly required.
I hope this helps!
Cheers
I’ve done it!
https://plus.google.com/photos/110335208843666274617/albums/5639638788158098673
The HDR and all the photos (with shutter speed in the detail of each photo).
Not Cropped, Neither adjusted, just as a test.
Regards!
Thanks for adding me to your list, I’m learning loads from your excellent work, and have been inspired to shoot more for pleasure as well as to pay the bills.
Wanted to say, I’ve looked through many of the photographers on the list and added more than a few to my circle of photographers.
As a professional photographer I use multiple exposure photography, whether HDR or Enfusion and it works so well for my clients.
Hi Hamish,
it’s great to hear that, and thanks for the kind feedback. I hope there’ll be some more people on the list soon. So keep coming back.
Cheers
thanks for including me *YAY*
Incredible effort, thanks for compile this info … now to check all of them 🙂
As an artist, HDR is another wonderful tool just like adding another lense to your bag. Love it!

HDR has opened new possibilities for me to experiment in.
Hooray to you and your generosity in sharing your work and expertise. We always look forward to your new posts, tips and techniques.
Greetings, I was inspired to start using high dynamic range techniques, when I saw an article in a photography magazine.
Since then, I have been amazed at how Hdr enables me to add a personal touch to my photos.
My favorite subjects are ghost towns and old mining equipment.
I primarily use a Canon 60d.
Thanks for including Klaus! We really appreciate all the hard work and effort you put into this and your awesome HDR Cookbook.
Hi everybody,

I just got into the art of HDR last month, and I will post dozens in the coming weeks. Please add me to the list, as I will contribute much.
What a great resource for us HDR fanatics! I’m looking forward to also being included on the list. My favorite HDR subjects are shooting aircraft, in particular warbirds, and paradise themes. I love how HDR renders the rivets and detail on the aircraft. I also love how it can make tropical colored shanties come back to life by extenuating the bright colors and textures.
Thanks for creating this site!

I just read your workflow and tried running my TIFF’s through de-noise before the merge…. works great and final image is noticeably sharper too. The other big plus was learning how to use ACR to quickly banish Chromatic aberration! Thanks you for sharing all your research & experimentation. The image I tried it on I took last weekend on the California coast… I call it Pampas Grass. http://www.essenceinphotography.com/pampas-grass/
