This list is by no means comprehensive, and there are many other lists already circulating. This list comprises photographers who are continually  producing work that would be likely to achieve an Editors Choice Award from Pete.

Be sure to add Peter to your circles and he'll come and check you out.

Please note: You may request to be added to this list, but that does not guarantee you a place on the list. I will only include photographers who I feel dereserve a space. That way the list remains strong and a worthwhile article.

If you are on this list and feel you've been wrongly categorised please get in touch and I'll adjust accordingly.
