About Us

At F Stop Lounge we want to create a site that will inspire and bring the photographers of the world together.

Photographers across social media platforms, blogs and websites have provided a myriad of photography tutorials and challenges. The problem is locating them all can be a hassle and a waste of your time.

F Stop Lounge was created by photographers for photographers. The photographers behind the site come from all over the world, places like Australia, Canada, England, Germany and the USA.

Google+ was our meeting place where over months we developed strong social bonds centred around photography. With decades of experience in the photographic arena, the founding photographers decided to create a website which would help others learn about photography.

Across F Stop Lounge  you will find inspirational photographs, informative tutorials, helpful hints and tips all about photography. We encourage visitors to comment and interact with us – either on the site or across various social media networks.

Be sure to subscribe to F Stop Lounge on your favourite social media site to hear all the latest content coming your way!

 Andre Appel I am a professional photographer from Central Germany where I run a photo studio. I love to shoot portraits and I always push the limits. Boring photos and no fun? Impossible with me! Whenever I am not in the studio I am outside chasing the light. I am totally addicted to photography!

A day without a photo is a day wasted!

 Leigh Diprose I am a professional photographer, networker, business manager, blogger, entrepreneur and helper to all. Photography is my life. I don’t categorise myself as a portrait or landscape photographer… I just photograph it all. You can find me hanging out in several locations at a time. My time is dedicated to various social platforms with the main one being Google+ where I run the Google+ Photographers Community. You can find a lot of my work on my personal blog.

Some things in life are meant to be enjoyed

 Andre Appel My background as a fine artist (painter/illustrator) and graphic designer gives me a somewhat unique perspective when at a shoot composing my photographs. I came to photography a bit later in my creative career, but I’ve embraced the challenge and excitement of harnessing a new medium and have worked to make it my own.
