photo-eye has compiled an incredible new resource by creating The Photographer Website Project. Not only can you explore the work of thousands of fellow fine art photographers, you can get a sense of websites that work and some that don’t. If I can add my two cents on that subject as I peruse hundreds if not thousands of sites a year, if the images take too long to load, I’m on to the next person…and where’s the color, where’s the fun and creativity?

iPi — The International Photographer Index at photoeye.com is a visual index of important fine-art and documentary photographers from throughout the world.

It is our mission to become the most focused and useful index and search engine for discovering and exploring fine-art and documentary photography. Unlike all general search engines on the web where pertinent information is buried amidst the less relevant, the iPi search tool focuses only on the art and documentary community of photographers and their work, making it the ideal tool for a discerning audience of curators, gallery directors, publishers, editors, researchers, collectors and all other lovers of art and documentary photography.

The Photography Website Project’s mission is to index all significant websites by internationally renowned and emerging art and documentary photographers.

To give you an idea of the lay-out, here are a couple of random pages:
