Online Tools for Photography

Episode 42: Online Tools for Photography with Piers van der Merwe

Piers is not only my husband, but also the photography teacher at FundaFunda Academy. You can see his work at Onstandby Travel and on Smugmug. Here are the online tools for photography he mentions in this episode.

1. Editing Tools

Google and Apple photos
Pixlr – Basic version is free. Pro version is $5 a month
Adobe Photoshop – $9.99 a month
Gimp
Paint

You can find other ideas here.

2. Where to store photos

Popular websites like Flickr and Photobucket aren’t a good idea as many of the photos teens could encounter there will not be appropriate. Better ideas for places to store photos are:

Google Photos
Apple Photos
Dropbox

3. How to share photos

Link from the folders in Dropbox or make public on iCloud.
Use free websites like Blogger, Weebly, WordPress if you want to share publicly.

4. Online resources for learning more about photography?

Camera Simulators
Other photographers. Piers enjoys Steve McCurry and Ken Kaminesky. Also take a look at one of his previous online student on Instagram = Isaac Weatherly.
