I now present part two of my Best Photography on the Web series. It takes me a little while between these posts because I find them slowly over time as opposed to searching for them constantly. Before we get started with this issue here is the standard disclaimer:
BE WARNED! Photographers take pictures of places, things and people. Sometimes naked people.
If you are sensitive to nude men, naked women or wet fruit please move on to another article.
Dr. Feng Jiang
We begin the second installment of the Best Photography on the Web with Chinese artist / Photographer Dr. Feng Jiang.
Dr. Jiang’s stunning photos of China are enough to make me want to visit just to see these places in person; and his mastery of light, reflections and composition are simply impressive.
Scott Stulberg
On top of that, Scott’s photography captured my attention and would not let go. He has a wide range of photos including nature, people and abstract – all of which he has obviously mastered.
Carel Struycken
When it comes to photography though, his specialty comes in the form of 3D or Spherical Panoramas. This technique involves stitching a series of photographs together to create an interactive image that viewers can move around within and explore.
He’s put his skills to good use because some of the images on his Web site are stunning!
Kris Krug
Heck, even his own self portrait (this one right here) kicks ass! You have to have some mad skills to pull that one off.
Kris and I are talking about the possibility of getting together for a shoot somewhere, though I think I dropped the ball what with all of my travel lately. (Sorry Kris!) Hopefully one day we’ll manage to hook up and find out what he can do to make me look like a star!
Rich Legg
His range is quite broad, from macro photography to landscape to people, but each of his photos are technically excellent and aesthetically interesting.
Also, make sure and visit his Flickr gallery.
Martin Waugh
The basic gist is that Martin uses high speed flash photography along with excellent timing and thousands of photographs to capture and share these captivating images.
Well, thats it for this installment. After I’ve gathered up several more I’ll be back with Part 3!
this web is the best world photography… thanks for share photo, very inspiration for photographer
Hey thanks for that list ! Very inspirational !
Peter,
I agree that it’s a shame the way Scott’s site was actually developed. I really like the way it’s laid out and broken up into themes, and I don’t even mind the music… though you should be able to turn it off and currently I don’t see that ability anywhere.
But the fact that it was completely flash based instead of HTML+CSS is a pity. Scott could have had 95% of the current functionality plus a whole lot better search engine results, blogging capability, track-backs, comments, and more.
And yeah… I’d never have guessed it about Carel either but it is really cool to see people branching out in new and unexpected areas.

Carel Struycken the photographer? Who would’ve thought?
And the Scott Stulberg site would’ve worked a whole lot better had he forwent the Flash and just used a gallery application. You can jazz those up quit attractively. Plus, background music is so 1995…
I see, it should be edited in some way… using HD Range make sense.
Thanks for info
Yes, the colors are amazing. I believe he is using a technique called High Definition Range on many of these. Most likely involving tweaking them in Photoshop or some other image editing software. My favorite one is the one about 7 images down on his site of the layers of rice fields on the side of the mountain. Just really beautiful stuff.

Feng Jiang photo is amazing, I kinda felt that it is drawn by hand.
