Lina Scheynius, Sweden, 1981, is a self-taught photographer who takes pictures of her own life. Often she is not only behind the camera, but also in the frame. She photographs the people in her life and shows them as a diary. In 2008 and 2009 she published books with titles: 01 and 02. They came out in an edition of 500 and are completely sold out.
500 photographers is a weblog that posts 5 active photographers a week for 100 weeks. The photographers can be from any discipline within the photographic range, but they have to be worth looking at and have a certain level of quality. When we get to number 500, we will have a deep database of great photographers.
500 photographers is done by Pieter Wisse, a photographer himself based in Rotterdam, NL and owner of Four Eyes Photography & Art, a gallery and bookstore that publishesFour Eyes Photography Magazine and recently published I believe in 88, the photography book by Pieter Wisse.
100 weeks from the start (April 5, 2010) this weblog will be finished and done. It will then only be here with the function of being an archive of amazing photographers of the 21st century.
Support 500 Photographers
500 Photographers needs your help. 500 Photographers has become close to a fulltime job and is truly a pleasure to make. However, it does not generate any income and the financial situation has become a worry. Your donation and support would be of great help for this project.
You can support the project by buying my book or just by donating an amount to your choice. I will be forever grateful. Thank you for reading this statement.

After a violent encounter with a group of neo-nazis at the age of 14 where Wisse was stabbed in the stomach, he decided to take a closer look at the daily life of the people that call themselves neo-nazis in former East Germany, a group of people at the edge of our society.
