our philosophy
Thank you for visiting Shutter Sisters, the collaborative photo blog that welcomes all women with a passion for photography from experts to amateurs alike. We are so glad to have you here.
Shutter Sisters is committed to honoring and celebrating the beauty that women behind cameras can capture. We embrace the belief that we are all creative equals, eager to share with one another our work; our art. It is in that sharing that we thrive and grow not only in our creativity but in all facets of our lives. As technology continues to vigilantly lay down new stepping stones in our exploration of the ever- changing landscape of photography, each day offers a chance to learn more. At Shutter Sisters, we encourage you to feel your way as you go. If the passion is there, the rest will follow. It’s not our photographic background, education, or expertise that is important; it’s our pictures. We don’t need to be paid professionals to be recognized as talented photographers. A great image is a great image whether it happened by beautiful mistake or meticulous calculation. Whether we are using an inexpensive point and shoot camera or a pricey SLR, one common thread remains; when we take a picture, we are telling a story. We are translating our life experience into significant visual images, each photo distilling the fleeting moments of our lives. As women who love to take pictures, we are all united by our cameras and by the desire to capture remarkable images. A sisterhood like that is dare we say it, worth a thousand words.
As we share with one another our images and our stories we continue to build a vibrant and compelling community of support, encouragement and inspiration. We kindly welcome emails, submissions, ideas, links, or anything else you’d like to see featured here. Click at shuttersisters dot com.We’re all in this together. And that’s just the way we like it.
