“A picture is worth a thousand words” is a common saying and as we zoom in on photographers on about.me, the phrase is especially apt. These photographers speak volumes with the stunning works that they often use as their background photos.

Some photographers, like Serena Xu Ning in our header photo, choose to reveal their own faces  with amazing photos and self portraits. Others like Samuel Luna show off with gorgeous photos that represent the type of photography they specialize in. Either way, these photographers stretch the use of their pages to the limit, wordlessly and captivatingly telling their stories through pictures on the page and in their apps.

So feast your eyes on these awesome shots and the people behind the lens.
