<\/p>\n

Cannabis Now has been keeping tabs on the cannabis photography niche for almost a decade now and there\u2019s no question that since legalization<\/a> and decriminalization have spread across the nation, the quality within the cannabis photographer community has grown tremendously. We have had the pleasure of working with many of these pros throughout the years and are excited to see the cannabis photography industry expand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our round-up of some of the top cannabis photographers in the game and their unique stories.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Chris Romaine \/\/ @kandidkush<\/a><\/h4>\n

READ:\u00a0Stunning Cannabis Photography in Book \u2018As The Grass Grows\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

\"TKO<\/figure>\n

\u201cDocumentary photography is about capturing what\u2019s there and I want to leave that up to interpretation and be the conduit for that,\u201d says Beckett, who prefers candid photography and avoids composing and posing pictures whenever she can. \u201cWhen you bring a subculture to light, people are going to have pre-judgments about it that you don\u2019t want to reinforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. Devin Stein \/\/ @thingsfromsteinfarm<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"cannabis<\/figure>\n

Cannabis photographer, Kristen Angelo<\/a>, has seen many facets of the industry. \u201cIn the cannabis industry, I\u2019ve met retired teachers, people from the insurance industry,\u201d she said. \u201cEveryone across the board, from conservatives to liberals. And I\u2019ve enjoyed telling their stories.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Jeff Scheetz \/\/ @doobieduck<\/a><\/h4>\n

READ: DoobieDuck: Getting Super-Close to Cannabis<\/a><\/p>\n

\"cannabis<\/figure>\n

\u201cMacro images take specialized gear. Most use DSLRs and specialized lenses,\u201d says Scheetz aka DoobieDuck<\/a>. To achieve quality macro shots, he says the most important factors are stability and lighting.<\/p>\n

6. Erik Christiansen \/\/ @erik.nugshots<\/a><\/h4>\n

7. Wind Home \/\/ @windhome<\/a><\/h4>\n

READ: Glass & Grass: The Photos of Wind Home<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Four<\/figure>\n

With a carefree name like Wind \u2014\u00a0and hippie parents easy-going enough to name him that \u2014\u00a0it\u2019s not too surprising to hear this prolific photographer takes such a calm, cool and collected approach to his craft when it comes to capturing his signature sleek images<\/a> of some of the most beautiful and impressively crafted pieces of glass.<\/p>\n

9. Dave Tomanovich \/\/ @daves_not_h3r3_man<\/a><\/h4>\n

READ:\u00a0Stacking Shots With Concentrate Photographer Dave Tomanovich<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

You\u2019d be amazed at how long it can take Dave Tomanovich to post a single picture on Instagram<\/a>. His latest snap of Holy Hash\u2019s Headband and Stardawg cross spotlights each angular nook and cranny of the live resin, glowing amber like a precious stone.<\/p>\n

10. Justin McIvor aka Justin Cannabis<\/a><\/h4>\n

READ: Under the Humboldt Sun<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

A new book is giving a glimpse into the world of cannabis farmers deep in the Humboldt hills.
