Top Steemit Portrait Photographers!
The user @lightenup asked me "who are the best portrait photographers on Steemit??????????" to which I responded "Who do you think they are??
Well, I decided to go ahead and give my suggestions for the best Portrait Photographers on Steemit!
In no particular order, my favourite Steemit photographers who work in Portrait often... these are not SPC entries or winners, this is just a highlight section :)

@nebcat is pretty amazing too!
Thank you @thelord! lol
Amazing work everyone!
Steemit has been very inspirational to me, wholeheartedly.
Honored to see I made the list without submitting. I was thinking I should submit an image and scrolled down and there I was. :)
It's also nice to see so many good photographers on on Steemit I didn't know about. I have a few people to go follow now.
Also I should mention that I'm now the Moderator of the new NSFW section on the Whaleshares discord Channel and will be running contests for NSFW Erotic Art Fine Art/Photography/Etc... where the winners get Whaleshares. Stop by my page I just posted about it a couple days ago and I'll be posting about it again soon!
I just saw your most recent post about photographers being ripped off when people use their photos in posts — I hope you know this wasn't my intention here but I wanted to highlight some of the better photographers for people to follow and wanted to use an example of your work so people could have an idea instead of just a name. In the future, though, I think I will just do names because you're right, we should be getting permission for imagery first.
No actually you were an exception to what I was talking about for the most part. I could tell that you wanted to help the photographers.
However I do suggest you contact the people and ask permission first. But from what I have seen of your posts, you are running a contest most of the time and people submit which is giving you their permission and I think your posts also feel to me like you are promoting the photographers. And your comment here proves to me that your intentions are good.
Unlike the other people who I have had dialog with and they are were very defensive, arrogant and insulting or non-responsive to my comments.
I actually felt Honored to be included and left a comment to that effect on your post. But I do prefer to be asked, as that also let's me know I'm being included. :)
For the SPC I have a disclaimer that gives me the permission to re-post any of the entries if they have won a position. It's just after the rules section. I wanted to cover my bases there so that there wouldn't be and problems in the future especially if a copyrighted image made its way through that the person didn't have permission to post!!
It says:
"By entering this competition you acknowledge that you own the rights to the photographs and allow for me to re-post the image should it receive a winner or honourable mention position."
So when does that Erotic Fine Art contest start :)
Soon I'm working on the Rules right now :)
