Title: website concept: proSLRs.com
Post by: Graham Clark on March 19, 2013, 12:36:54 am

Hello all!

I have an idea for a new website that I wanted to get some of your thoughts on.

There are tons of awesome websites out there for camera reviews, but the problem (in my opinion) with most of these is that they only really present one review per site, and often times the reviewers aren't working photographers, or if they are they're not professionals. What I'd like to do is build a community-based site whereby a curated selection of professional photographers review SLRs in a real-world context.

What if (as a reader) you could select reviews of the Canon 1D C based on the work of a professional photographer in a niche that you identify with:

professional cinematographers
professional wedding photographers
professional landscape photographers
professional commericial photographers
professional street photographers
professional underwater photographers
professional wildlife photographers
professional model photographers
professional war photographers

In addition to professional reviews, the site could focus on:

professional photographs of the cameras
professional photographs with the cameras
profile pages for photographers. links to the photographers site, social media etc.
reviews for photographers, by professional photographers
blog on all things photography. up-to-date news on pro SLRs only
featured: photographer of the month
forums for pro SLRs and photography in general

The site could look like this: http://organicthemes.com/demo/magazine/
The domain could look like this: proSLRs.com
The reviews could look something like this: http://grahamclarkphoto.com/review-canon-eos-6d/

The photographers could look like this:

http://joanteasdale.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=33760&Akey=8V568XFL
http://www.michaelandersongallery.com/gallery/favorites/
http://rudidundas.com/
http://www.marcellpuzsar.com/
http://grahamclarkphoto.com/
Any thoughts, or people interested? I already have a number of professional photographers, designers and SEO pros who are interested in moving forward with it but I wanted to get a sense from everyone here! : )

Graham

Seems like a good idea if you can pull it off well.  Good luck!
