Here we are on Friday and here we are at 5. This week we have 5 sites that I regularly check out. Some great photography here, as well as tips, tutorials and critiques. Read on after the jump.

The above photo has nothing to do with the 5 sites that are following. It’s from the Ganges River in India. Think of it as a preview image for an upcoming post that’s in the planning stages. So you don’t miss it, why not subsribe to my RSS feed? Ok, on to this weeks 5, in no particular order.

Zack Arias

Up first is Zack Arias. Zack is an editorial photographer in Atlanta, working mainly with the music industry doing press and publicity photographs. Lately, he’s been running a website critique podcast on his site, where he and his wife, Meg, give honest, constructive feedback on the portfolios of various photographers. I’ve learned a lot from these critiques and hope they keep coming.

Todd Owyoung

Moving from press and publicity photos of the music industry into concert photography itself, the next photographer is Todd Owyoung. Todd is a concert photographer in the US whose work has appeared in Rolling Stone, Billboard, NY Times, Spin and others. He has regular updates on his site showing live shots of artists such as The Police, Bruce Springsteen, Radiohead, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Nine Inch Nails. He also has a helpful Q&A section where he answers questions and gives tips.

Chris Owyoung

Staying in the genre of concert photography, and indeed within the same family is Todd’s brother Chris Owyoung. Chris is based in New York, has a client list including Village Voice, Billboard, Rolling Stone and Time and has covered artists such as The Prodigy, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Oasis and Tom Jones. Chris also has a photo tips section that contains plenty of helpful advice.

Ron Dubin

Getting away from music and heading into the realm of travel, up next we have Ron Dubin. Ron is an LA and Florida based photographer specialising in landscapes, wildlife and travel. His recent book, Bolivia – A Journey is filled with over 70 excellent images from the landlocked South American country.

Neil Wade

Sticking with travel, this weeks 5 is completed by Neil Wade. Neil is an editorial and corporate photographer based in Taipei who regularly shoots a variety of assignments around the region. Neil’s blog features a variety of pictures, useful tutorials, inspiration and some DIY advice.
