Keri needed a business portrait so we did a fun shoot.  I started off with the business portrait that she could use for her website, business cards, etc.

And then we did some fun fashion portraits while she was here.  I thought it’d be fun to use some very specular light and over-expose the image for a very hip and fresh look.

I absolutely love all of these images!  Keri was so fun to work with and we had a great time creating these photographs.  At the end, we messed her hair up and did these images as a closing thought — which were some of my favorite images.

I loved how these images look!  Keri was a stunning model and was a joy to light and photograph.  We really had a great time during this shoot and I loved her eyes and expressions too.  I hope to do more photographs of her soon.

If you need some new business portraits or would like some fashion portraits for fun, give me a call.  In the meantime, check out more of my work on my website at BryCox.com.

I created some amazing photographs of a good friend of mine, Laura, as she modeled some gorgeous gowns from AltaMODA, my favorite and only couture bridal shop in Salt Lake.

Laura’s hair and make-up was expertly done by Flavia of VersaArtistry.com.  All of these images were created right here at my indoor studio, using some of my new sets that I’ve been building.

I’m finding that there is a huge and growing trend for indoor studio portraits lately, and I think that it has to do with the fact that there are so many new and well-meaning photographers (without studios, credentials, or business licenses) all doing exactly the same thing in exactly the same locations — and throwing the same kitschy computer effects on all of their images.

This phenomenon is causing clients to ask me for images that don’t look like they were created by just anyone with a camera and computer, but rather they are looking for images that are both funky and classy at the same time — images that are both stylized and flattering at the same time, without excuses.  People are asking not only for artistic, creative, and unique photographs, but they want to look great in every single image — that they always look amazing!

I’m finding a growing response to photographic credentials, as well as more requests for indoor studio work.  These new requests have led me to redo my indoor camera area with more options and to create some fantastic new sets which I’m very excited about.

So though people are still asking for appointments in my outdoor garden, they are also asking for indoor studio portraits.  Many are wanting a mix of both indoor and outdoor, especially during these past few weeks of uncertain Utah spring weather.  With all of the time and money to get their hair and makeup done and to get a fantastic dress, they want to know that an appointment will not be moved due to rain, wind, or anything else.  The indoor camera sets are solving that.

So as you look at these images, note the gorgeous dresses, the fantastic hair and makeup, the great model, and also the fact that these images are not retouched and have no computer effects applied.

These images are straight photography!  The fun colors, dramatic lighting, flattering and interesting poses — all in-camera!  When you have a great photograph, there isn’t the need to kitsch it up with computer effects.

So if you are getting married and would love fun, fashionable images where you look amazing in every image, then give me a call at 801-728-3317.  I’m happy to photograph your entire wedding or just some bridals, depending on your budget.

My book, “Impressions of China,” is in its final proofing stage! I have received the artist proof from the printer and have been checking every detail before the final copies are printed and bound.

I am very excited by the look and quality of the images in this proof edition, love the presentation of one image per page. The entire book is 185 pages, and cost me a bit more to produce because it is printed in full color — all 185 pages! It contains images and street portraits that I created while traveling throughout China on two different speaking engagements last summer.

The book has been designed to match the look and layout of my earlier book, “Impressions of Italia” so that the two books can be a set, whether displayed on a coffee table or bookshelf.

If you’ve been following my blog, then you’ve seen some of the images that will be in the book already, like the two photographs below that I recently won some awards with, including Master Photographer of the Year!

I would love all of you to have an early copy of this book, and have decided to sell the first set of these for my material costs only, $75!

I will also include a gift certificate for the same amount that you can use on your next portrait session or order, so it’s like getting one or the other for free! If you’d like to be on the list and get one of the early copies for only my material printing costs, plus a gift certificate for $75, then let me know by sending me an email at web@brycox.com, or visit my website at www.brycox.com and click on CONTACT to get ahold of me. Make sure to put in your name and contact info in the email so that I can get a hold of you.

Last night was the Ryan Shupe & the RubberBand show at the Sandy Amphitheater.  Here are some of the images I did that night.  I decided to try a completely different camera than I’d normally use at a concert, and had a great time creatively!  I always love to photograph concerts because of the motion, the energy, and the merging of artistic forms.

The image has to be caught right when it happens, because there’s no going back or setting up the shot.  Things need to be properly framed, composed, and exposed correctly — and quickly without mistake.  It’s always a fun challenge that makes me just excited thinking about it.

I’m proud to say that all of these images are straight out photographs — no cropping or retouching!  Check them out and let me know what you think.

These shows are always so full of energy!  The band members are all impeccable musicians and so fun to watch as they move on the stage.
I especially like these next few in motion, with all the colors of the stage lights.

What a great show!  It is always fun to see these guys live and I encourage everyone to catch them when they hit a town near you.
