I’m an amateur landscape photographer in New York and would like to follow photographers whose work is primarily in the Northeastern U.S. for inspiration and to discover locations to shoot. Are there photographers, resources, or search methods that are especially useful for finding strong landscape work from places like New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and nearby areas?

Aside from specific photographers, you might want to search for Flickr groups that are relevant. For example Top 20 Vermont Pics was among the top hits for vermont landscape. Or use the Flickr Map. Sort by "Interesting", zoom to the area you're interested in, and refresh (little button with two green arrows).

Either way, when you see something you like, you can look more closely at that photographer's work to see if he or she does a lot of good landscape work in the region, and you can follow the ones who do.

A useful starting point is to search by region rather than only by individual names. On Flickr, look for location-specific groups (for example, state or regional landscape groups), and use the Flickr Map to browse photos geographically. Sort by “Interesting,” zoom into the area you care about, and refresh to surface strong work from that location. When you find images you like, check that photographer’s broader portfolio and follow the ones who consistently shoot the Northeast.

As for a specific photographer, Freeman Patterson is worth exploring. He is based in New Brunswick, and his work often reflects terrain and climate similar to northern New England. He has a large body of landscape work and has also written extensively, which can make his work especially useful for both inspiration and learning.

This approach—finding great images by place, then following the photographers behind them—is often more effective than starting with a fixed list of names.
