Click the photos to view the original posts of the artists selected

#1 Ryan McGinley
Yes, he’s the photographer for Sigur Ros’ latest album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, but he is also one of 2010’s most exciting photographers to watch. McGinley embodies everything that is youth culture – rawness, freedom and unpredictability. That’s why he’s our #1 eyedropps pick for 2010.

#2 Vincent Fournier
A little bit of science and a lot of style put Belgian photographer Vincent Fournier in the second slot on our Best Of list. His “Space Project” series has been popping up everywhere this year – fashion mags, design blogs, even profiled by The Sartorialis

#3 Christopher Davison
Representing Orlando, Christopher Davison’s dark and delightful illustrations place him among the top three of this year’s best!

#4 Julia Galdo
The L.A. lady Julia Galdo of JUCO comes up with some of the best photo shoot concepts I’ve seen all year. They tend to be simple, straightforward, and genial.

#5 Will Govus
Just an 18-year-old kid exploring the world with his buddies and a shit load of film makes Govus one of the most interesting (and young) documentary/art photographers of the year. Long live the right to roam

#6 Anna Cuba
Always taking time to capture the magic and beauty of her surroundings, Cuba works that medium format camera like none other. Her work reminds us that everyday life ain’t so bad to look, if you simply take the time.

#7 Li Hui
A novice photographer (only one year into the craft), Hui is already mastering the art of a striking photograph. 2010 has been a big year for budding female artists and Hui’s work puts her on our Best Of list.

#8 Natasha Klimchuck
Russian photographer Natasha Klimchuck is a serious case of young talent, and damn does this girl love to take artistic risks. Her stunning portrait work makes her a definite shoo-in for Best Of.

#9 Tom I’Istelle
“Get happy” is the motto of the multi-talented Tom I’Istelle. His mixed media projects and positive messages makes him a favorite on our list.

#10 Raymond Molinar
Big things happened this year for Polaroid. The Impossible Project picked up the rights to producing a new version of the instant film. No one was more excited about the rebirth of this aging media than skater/photographer Raymond Molinar.
