PhotoJBartlett is relatively new to the travel photography and photojournalism world. While I continue to take steps to improve my work, I draw inspiration from a number of great photographers. Some are real pros who have been working in the industry for many years, while others are young and striving to take their photography to the next level. Either way, their work is worth a look.
