You are missing all of the biggest Photographer on twitter such as @TheBigKlosowski @AhhPhotography @str8photography and ourself @GWPStudio all above 30K followers! As well unlike many on your list they follow people back and understand the etiquette of twitter….
Excellent list, thank you for sharing.
Interesting, this is obviously a very biased list. Ashame I wasn’t listed – http://www.twitter.com/kellyshipp
Great list! I follow and enjoy a good portion of it already and will check out the rest.

I decided to join twitter not too long ago and didn’t know where to find anyone to follow. I google’d around and found this post and a few others. So I began adding as many photographers and photography related twitter members as much as I can. It’s cool to log on to twitter and see what’s new or what other photographers are up to.
If anyone is interested, you can follow me here: http://twitter.com/delonchateau

Nice, I’ve been following a handful of those on the list already. Sure is hard to keep up without checking several times day.

@tuetano
Great list! I linked to it from my site: http://digitalphotobuzz.com
also my twitter names are http://twitter.com/digitalphotobuz and personal at
http://twitter.com/markstagi for anyone who wants to follow 🙂
Why would you want to follow most of these people – look at their following versus followers count. Many don’t return follows so why follow them (exactly why photogs think they are celebrities I do know).
If you want to follow their tweets just put them in a list.
Agree w/ Dave365 @photojack has good lists
Also Greg Wilson makes a good point.
You are missing all of the biggest Photographer on twitter such as @TheBigKlosowski @AhhPhotography @str8photography and ourself @GWPStudio all above 30K followers! As well unlike many on your list they follow people back and understand the etiquette of twitter….
