A hidden gem like his homeland, photographer Simon Butterworth is a customer who fell into our Support Heroes’ laps and we instantly admired. His gorgeous captures of the light and weather in Scotland break all the preconceived notions of how the country should appear.

There’s lots more to see, so check out his site!

Cave Diving

Ever wonder what’s down there in the deep recesses of the earth? Crystal clear blue waters in forbidden springs, but untouchable by most.

Jill Heinerth is one of the lucky few that can show us. Her cave diving photos are the result of professional diving training mixing with fantastic skills in digital media.

There’s so much more to see on her site and in her galleries. Check them out!

It’s All in the Family

Today we’re featuring one of our longtime users whose photography not only raises the bar for performance artists, but whose own journey is a great story that gives a whole new meaning for the term “The SmugMug Family.”

Ben Rudick’s sister, father, mother, and stepmom are all Smuggers like him. There’s also a possibility that we might see some Rudick grandparents joining us, too. We love that not only are they all great, enthusiastic photographers, but that they share our passion, too!

Ben’s work comes from a love of theater and music, and the stunning but minimal lighting on stage makes for some truly beautiful and moving images of posture and emotion.

You can browse his other galleries to see more juicy examples of dance, music, and theater.

Thanks for making your family a Smuggy one, Ben!

Pucker up!

Jason Hummel of Cascade Crusades has a love of the wild outdoors. From his galleries we see a most breathtaking view of the Pacific Northwest, where he travels grueling paths to the summits to bring us glimpses of an untouched territory where few others dare to go.

Many more peaks, valleys, and everything in-between are captured here.

Retro Rumble

Dirk Behlau of Pixeleye Interactive is one of those unsung photographers you stumble upon on an ordinary day, but you just can’t get the images out of your head. In a world where pinup and retro looks are making a comeback, this photographer from Germany gives even the best a run for their money:

You can see all of Dirk’s pin-up galleries here, but his more contemporary work in the automotive world are definitely worth a look, too.
