The Inspired Eye is a website, blog, podcast and bi-monthly magazine that was founded by Don Springer and Olivier Duong, two photographers who, despite never having met in real life, decided to work together to share their passion for photography with the rest of the world. They were inspired to design The Inspired Eye as a tribute to working photographers.
What makes The Inspired Eye so unique is that it puts the spotlight on both famous and relatively unknown photographers. It is written and compiled with a strong sense of community, and often features the work of the same photographers more than once. Finally, the questions asked for each interview are always the same so that we can see how the answers of the various photographers compare. Doing so gives a reference to the readers as well.
The 38th issue of the magazine was released a few days ago and features the following stories:
- How photography has “cracked the world open” for this photographer
- This trick helps a minister-photgrapher to make the most of seeing images
- Who this NYC shooter reacted when they took a shot of HIM!
