Welcome to Pittsburgh Photograph – Your Go-To Guide for Discovering Attractions, Photography Tips, and the Best Camera Gear and Reviews
Let’s be real—capturing the perfect shot isn’t just about having the fanciest camera. One day you’re exploring the city’s hidden gems with your smartphone, the next you’re eyeing a DSLR that costs more than your rent. We get it. That’s exactly why Pittsburgh Photograph is here.
We’re not here to overwhelm you with jargon or pressure you into buying gear you don’t need. We’re real people who love exploring the sights, telling stories through images, and helping you find the tools that work best for your style. Our mission? To guide you through the world of photography—whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned shutterbug—and show you how to capture the spirit of Pittsburgh (and beyond!) with clarity and confidence.
Because your shots tell your story. And you deserve to have everything you need to make that story come alive.
We’re not big-name influencers or award-winning photojournalists. We’re a team of local explorers, photography enthusiasts, and gear geeks who believe that the best shots come from curiosity, patience, and a little bit of adventure.
Our team is a mix of photographers, writers, and wanderers who’ve spent years getting lost in alleyways, scaling hills for skyline shots, and testing every piece of gear we could get our hands on. We know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by settings, to wonder if you’re using the right lens, or to have no idea what half those buttons even do.
We’re not here to judge or tell you there’s only one “right” way. We’re here to help you figure out what works for you—and to remind you that photography is as much about the experience as it is about the final image.
Pittsburgh is a city that’s as photogenic as it is full of surprises. Our Attractions section dives into the places that make this city shine:
Local landmarks and hidden gems you won’t want to miss.
Tips for getting the best angles and finding that perfect light.
Stories behind the scenes—because sometimes the history is as fascinating as the view.
We’re not here to make you feel like you need to see it all in one day. We’re here to help you find the spots that speak to you—whether that’s a bustling market, a quiet bridge at dawn, or the skyline on a hazy afternoon.
Photography can feel like a secret club sometimes—like there’s a whole language you’re supposed to know. Our Photography Tips section is here to break it down:
How to make the most of your gear—no matter what’s in your bag.
Simple techniques for turning “meh” shots into “wow” shots.
Advice for editing and sharing your photos in ways that feel true to your vision.
We’re not here to sell you a magic formula for perfect shots. We’re here to help you get comfortable with your camera and your creativity—because that’s what makes great photos happen.
Let’s be real: gear can be expensive, and the options can feel endless. Our Camera Gear & Reviews section is here to help you cut through the noise:
Hands-on reviews that actually tell you what it’s like to use the gear, not just the specs.
Comparisons that make it easy to see what’s worth the splurge—and what’s not.
Tips for choosing gear that fits your budget, your style, and the way you love to shoot.
We’re not about pushing the latest trend or making you feel like you need a $5,000 lens. We’re here to help you find the tools that help you tell the best stories.
At Pittsburgh Photograph, we believe in talking like real people. No confusing jargon. No hype about gear that costs more than your car. No “you should already know this” attitude.
We’re all about:
Sharing real-world tips that feel like they’re coming from a friend, not a sales pitch.
Encouraging you to get out there and experiment—even if you’re just using your phone!
Meeting you wherever you are—whether you’re brand new to photography or you’ve been at it for years.
We know that sometimes the best shot isn’t the most technically perfect one—it’s the one that makes you feel something. Our job? To help you feel a little more confident every time you pick up your camera.
Because you’re tired of feeling like photography is only for the pros. Because you’re ready to stop comparing yourself to everyone else and start capturing what matters to you. Because you’re ready to see your city—and the world—through your own lens.
Pittsburgh Photograph is all about:
Practical advice that actually works—no fluff, no nonsense.
Honest reviews that help you choose gear that makes sense for you.
A voice that respects yours—because your perspective matters.
You don’t have to have the perfect camera. You don’t have to have it all figured out. All you need is a little curiosity, a little courage, and the willingness to see what’s possible.
We’re not stopping here. Pittsburgh Photograph is growing—because your questions, your creativity, and your curiosity deserve a place to thrive. We’re adding more guides, more gear reviews, and more behind-the-scenes stories to keep you inspired.
We’re even dreaming up new ways to connect—maybe a podcast that takes you on photo walks, maybe short videos to show you how to master tricky techniques, maybe even a community space where you can share your favorite shots (and the stories behind them!).
Because photography isn’t just about making something pretty—it’s about making something personal.
Thanks for being here—seriously. Whether you’re just starting to dabble or you’re already deep in the photo world, we’re glad you found your way to Pittsburgh Photograph.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress—one shot, one adventure, one story at a time.
Got questions? Tips to share? Or maybe a story about the time you got the shot just as the sun dipped below the horizon? We’d love to hear it. Drop us a line anytime at contact@pittsburghphotograph.com
We’re all figuring this out together—one frame, one photo, one captured memory at a time. Let’s make photography feel a little less intimidating and a lot more fun. That’s what Pittsburgh Photograph is all about.
