This week I spoke at Pictureline in Salt Lake, for the regions largest photo trade show called DigitalFest. Pictureline is my favorite camera store and I love them for their ability to do an amazing job at everything — their staff is wonderful and knowledgeable, they carry everything, their store is always immaculate, beautiful and clean, and their events are fantastic. They do what others don’t and really pay attention to the details. As an artist and a businessman, I love that! It was an honor to be asked to speak there.
I was told that my class was the first to fill up and that they actually oversold my class. The event went great and I loved the opportunity to help and inspire others.
But I was also inspired with some new ideas. I stayed and watched one of the other speakers, Alex Buono who is the Director of Photography for the Saturday Night Live Film Unit. He shoots all of their parody commercials and the opening sequences for SNL. You would definitely know his work.
Watching Alex, I was inspired to do a time lapse photography video. He has one he did that is now the opening sequence of SNL, and it gave me an idea. Sunday morning, I mounted a camera to the side of my car, and created a time-lapse video of me driving to Salt Lake. Here is the result.
If you’re a photographer and would like to attend one of my workshops, check the schedule and sign up on my email list at BryCoxWORKSHOPS.com. And or everyone else, browse my main website, BryCox.com and my blog at BryCox.com/blogand give me a call if you need some new portraits for your business, or family. 801-728-3317.
I had the opportunity to photograph Grace, and do some fashion and senior portraits for her. She was so fun and had a sparkling personality, that I loved photographing her. I had a great time laughing with her and focusing on really capturing her personality.
There are a lot of photographers all over the country who follow my blog, and for those of you looking, you should know that these images are all un-retouched, and all were created using one light! That’s a cool thing!
This is incredibly unique because the trend with most photographers lately is to not use any lights because they don’t know how to use them correctly, but then use tons of Photoshop effects and retouching to fix the images later. The result is weird smooth-skinned people with glowing white eyes, or images that seem flat, gray, and dull and lack punch.
The other group of photographers, are pretty good at lighting, but need to use multiple lights. It normally takes multiple lights to sculpt a person correctly, create dimension, and separate the subject from the background. I teach these exact techniques all over the country. (Photographers: visit my workshop site BryCoxWORKSHOPS.com)
But I also think it’s fun to do the seemingly impossible, and that is to purposefully use one light, and still do everything that you need to do with multiple lights, and in the end create images that are unique, different, that have personality, depth, and that grab you emotionally.
I love this stunning four-up composite of Grace below. It is so interesting how all the images can be so different and yet work together so well.
I also designed her up a trio composite using some of my custom fleurs in the corners. There are great products that when framed, can hang anywhere in the home.
I then used a beautiful Tuscan set to create these images, and felt that some warm lighting would complete the mood. This color is not a computer effect at all, but rather how I actually lit her on the set. Again, these images are un-retouched and have no effects. I did however on this image below, add one of my custom made photo edges to this, to complete the old world theme.
And here is another of her on this same set, but serious. I love her expression in these. She was so good at both serious and smiling images. Both types of expressions really draw me in on these images.
Are you a high school senior right now? Do you want something that is different, unique, and that can’t be copied by other photographers? Do you want your photographs taken by the artist who is called to train photographers all over the country and who photographs for magazines and famous people?
If so, give me a call at 801-728-3317 and let’s talk. I have basic packages starting at $199 (which includes the session fee, 1 outfit, 2-5x7s, 8-wallets of your favorite pose, and a digital copy for facebook and your iPhone) up to full Senior Mix Sessions that includes both Color and B&W, both indoor and outdoor portraits using a number of sets, and multiple clothing changes!
You are only a senior once, so don’t settle for new photographers with no credentials. If you want real magazine-style images, remember that my images are used by Capitol Records, national and international magazines like Billboard Magazine and American Girl Magazine. I have photographed a lot of famous people like Lee-Ann Rimes, Olivia Newton-John, Mitt Romney, and the last four Utah Governors (to name a few).
I WILL do an AMAZING job for YOU, and YOU WILL LOVE YOUR SENIOR PORTRAITS!!

I was recently interviewed for the PocketWizard blog, and the story just posted today! You can read it here (http://blog.pocketwizard.com/?p=3150).
The point of this article was to show how I use a monopod to mount a flash fired by a PocketWizard. This way I can custom light people with full control, and can move the light and adapt as the model moves. The point of great photography is to always light someone in a custom way that makes them look good. Most people just light the person in a general way. By having my light mobile, I can constantly move and adapt to get great lighting as the client moves.
For my non-photographer followers, PocketWizard makes devices that sync your flashes to fire when your camera fires. Normally you’d have to wire them all to your camera, but with these radio syncs, a wireless signal is sent instead. This allows for wireless shooting which means putting your flashes anywhere, and not just where a wire will reach.
The brand new PocketWizard Flex and Mini systems have been improved to allow for E-TTL, meaning that they have electronics inside that compute how to fire a flash multiple times in a shot, and in just the right way so that you can use a flash with cameras that in higher sync speeds than normal. This means you can get the look of overpowering the sun with a small and lightweight setup.
These devices are amazing and I have loved them. And I really appreciate PocketWizard calling and interviewing me about them too.
Well thanks for looking and remember, that it’s the best time right now to do family portraits in the garden studio here at Bry Cox Studio. The place looks fantastic and the weather is perfect. Call now to schedule something soon. I have some specials going on right now too, which is an added bonus to getting a Bry Cox portrait right now.
Also, browse some of my past blog entries (BryCox.com/blog) or even my my main website at BryCox.com.
Flying into Salt Lake, the sky and the view was amazing! Not being able to get out of my seat to grab my pro camera, I used my iPhone to get a few images out my window. I love how the clouds helped direct the setting sun. Light is everything, and I love what it’s doing here. The colors and the texture of the mountains are just amazing.
Delta Airlines knows that if I don’t get my seat upgrade to first class, that I at least need a window seat on the right side. It’s just automatic because I love to look out at the city and the mountains as I fly home. You can see the Draper temple in this image at the bottom.
This last image shows the Sandy area where I was picking out the homes of friends. It’s always fun to look for familiar places as I fly in.
Well I just wanted to put these up. I have a lot of really cool jobs to blog about this week, and will get them up as soon as I can. But until then, browse some of my past blog entries (BryCox.com/blog) or even my my main website at BryCox.com.
I just got back from teaching a workshop on creativity and fashion in Illinois. I’m so excited about the images I created there! They are awesome! I had fantastic models and a great location to shoot in too.
I created this short video for YouTube of the highlights. Check it out!
And here’s a separate link in case the video above doesn’t show up in your blog reader. Just click on this photo here.
I created images both outdoor on location in the city, as well as indoor in a studio. This is one of my favorite images from the shoot. I walked the model Kim in her high heels, out to the shore of the Mississippi River, where I could see a lighthouse in the distance.
I only knew that I wanted the lighthouse, but when I got out there, I found this big rope, and suddenly the image came to me. Fashion is about mixing opposites, suddenly I had the image in my head. This pretty girl all dressed up in cute clothes doing manual labor on the shore, pulling on this enormous rope.
I lit this and all of these outdoor images with one light, set manually — me personally holding the light in one hand, with my camera in the other. That’s the way I can control exactly where the light is going to hit her face as she moves and bends. Also, none of these images have been retouched or enhanced. The colors, contrast, cropping, smoothness of the skin, whiteness of the eyes, and even the color “effects” or anything else you notice, are all done in camera. This was part of the class, to learn how to create awesome images in camera, without having to “fix” them with Photoshop or other software.
I have a saying: “The trick to Photoshop is Photography.”
I was lucky that one photographer got some images of me working. Here you can see me working my own light with my free hand, adjusting as the model adjusts.
These next images I created in a studio that we set up in the hotel. The softness is not a computer effect, but done optically with a lens. The warm colors were created specifically from the custom white balance that I set while shooting. Again, no retouching or effects applied — just great photography.
Contrast the feel and look of these images above with this next image below, created in the same spot, but different lenses, different lighting.
I took this model also down to the docks and created these in a huge boathouse/warehouse. These first couple are shot using the setting sun coming through a window. One of my favorite things about this is shadow from the window panels on her. Again, no color or other adjustments. The idea of this workshop was to be completely creative while being completely technical — balancing the two halves of the brain in harmony.
I absolutely love these images using the window light, especially this portrait of the two of these girls together. It’s so mesmerizing to me!
Then switching up the lighting and lenses, I used the same room to create some completely different looks. Many photographers have or know only one style of lighting — all their images look the same. I believe that an artist should be versatile, being able to do anything they can imagine. Photographers need to be able to masterfully create images in all sorts of styles, using all sorts of lighting patterns and light sources — and the images should still be awesome!
I also created some awesome twilight images of this model using specular flash outdoors, using the docs, railings, and lights as leading lines.
And here’s one of my favorites of her friend, using the light from outside to wrap around and light her.
The idea of my workshops is to help photographers create great images on purpose, and not by accident. Many times photographers have the mind-set that if they just shoot a lot, that by the law of averages, some images will work out. I believe in creating the opposite way. I believe that if someone is hiring you to create amazing photographs, that your images should not be haphazard, but rather deliberate. They should be done right, and done on purpose, with intent, and with care taken on both the creative and technical aspects so that every image is good, and not just the lucky ones.

Last week I spoke in Illinois, right across the Mississippi River from St. Louis. I took an afternoon to go visit the arch when I first arrived, and took some self portraits.
I used an extendable pole to control my camera, rather than relying on someone else or using a tripod. This way I can see what I’m doing and get exactly what I want.
I’m still in my flight clothes, with jacket (great for pockets which are much needed on a flight), and Skull Candy headphones (great for movies on the plane, tunes on a trip alone, as well as iPhone calls too). A local looking at these photos on my iPhone commented that he’s never seen photos of people by the arch where the arch looks small. Everyone gets images up close, he said. I specifically choose not to do that, because you just can’t see anything that way — but I did create some more artistic images up close.
It was a fun afternoon and a great start to an awesome week of speaking, teaching, and creating some awesome images! That part of the week is coming shortly.

Every year for many years now, I’ve been asked to speak at the world’s biggest weeklong workshop in the world, Texas School! It’s for professional photographers who want to learn sharpen their saws and do better in all areas of their business from creativity to technical to business.
I create images right in front of people and show how things are done, as well as take classroom time to delve into deeper concepts. It’s a way for photographers to spend a whole week with me and really learn a lot.
Here are some images I created while teaching there this year. I created these first few images while talking on fashion lighting, posing, and creativity. I was how to do a fashion shoot and make the most of the model and the local area. This particular model was a lot of fun with her funky clothing and pink hair.
These images are un-retouched too, straight out of the camera. I speak a lot on getting images that look great right in the camera — nailing the lighting, the exposure, the white balance, the expression, and the positioning. Everything should look great without any computer work and images should not need lots of retouching. One of my big pet peeves actually is when I see photographers over-retouch their images. I don’t like to see “plastic” people.
These next images were how to light and photograph women in a studio setting, and and make them look good and real. Because she was a young girl (senior age), I also showed how to create and use fun effects like special color toning and edges.
This series of images below were on how to photograph couples. As is the case in each of these shoots, I meet the people I’m to photograph for the first time as I actually photograph them. Unlike working with actual clients in my studio where I get to first meet people at least a few times before photographing them and build a rapport, these people I meet just as it’s time to photograph them. It’s a fun challenge to take complete strangers, and in front of a watching crowd of photographers, create images that bring out these people’s true personality.
Then I took some of their images and made up a design trio.
I love to tell stories in three images.
So the Texas School workshop is not just about intense training every day for a week, but they do a great job of making things fun at night too. On one night, the Texas group hired a band, on another, they had a massive image shoot-out, and on another, they had a Mardi Gras party. I didn’t have a costume for the Mardi Gras party, so my assistants made me one. It consisted of a purple cape, crown, and feather boa.
And one of my favorite things about going to Texas is seeing a lot of my favorite friends.

Good news about Iceland! So Einar who is the man in charge of the Iceland photographic expedition contacted me, and he’s really upped the ante quite a bit to help me fill my workshop in July! I am so excited by this. He said he will offer you an additional 10% off by signing up a friend, who will also get 10% off).
This discount is in addition to the 10% off you get already by signing up before the end of May! That’s 20% off your total, and you will share a double room with your friend. So cool!
That means get the word out to your friend and you will BOTH save some money!
What’s great about Einar is that he does everything top notch! These images are from his facebook today, of him taking an expedition up to check out the volcano that erupted recently. He always takes professional vehicles driven by professional drivers on any expedition.
When we go, it will be no different. We will be traveling with Einar and his elite team of locals who know all the nooks and crannies — the most beautiful hidden spots. We will be avoiding the people and the popular tourist places, because his team really knows where each photographic oasis is. And they require special vehicles to get there! Click here for more info on our Adventure in Iceland.
Look at this amazing image, with the volcano going off in the distance!! Wow! So maybe you heard about the volcanic eruption in Iceland. Know that it won’t affect our workshop at all. In fact, it may actually make some scenes more dramatic! Einar says that Iceland has regular volcanic eruptions and this is the 36th or 37th one since 1902. This is not news to them, and is very common, similar to living in Hawaii I suppose. He sent me some facts about volcanos in Iceland, and they are listed below.
One of the things I’m excited most about for the Iceland adventure, is that all the extra costs, the hotels, the travel, the professional drivers, the elite team of local guides, the weather team we will have watching things for us — everything is included! There is no way you will ever find another adventure like this ever. And on top of it all, we will be creating some of the coolest photographs ever! Please pass this info on to anyone you think is interested.

We here in Iceland are experiencing mother nature blowing out a little once again. It is like her house cleaning. It is the 36t or 37th volcano eruption since 1902, so it is no news to us.
This time the eruption is in Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Europe, approx 8,100 square km. It is in a place on the glacier called Grimsvotn or the “Waters of Grimm”.
Eruption in that areas are common and tend to be in a wave frequency. But there is an active volcano there and regularly there is a flood from underneath the glacier, like an outburst flood of melted water which comes flowing from under the rim of the glacier on the south side and floods down to the sea over a sand desert every 2nd or 3rd year.
Last autumn was a outburst flood from Grimsvont. So now when there is an eruption there, there is little ice or water to stop the eruption going through. But it is still all in a wet area so the eruption gushes up in the form of ash. It was estimated about 12 million tons of ash was gushing up in the air each second y’day.
That is enormous amount of ash going up in the air. Some of it falls down on land on the south-east of Iceland, but a lot of it goes high up in the air, as far as 12 – 15 thousand meters and the blows with the high wind over to the East and South East of Iceland.
Some times when we hear figures like 12 million tons of ash pr. second they are beyond our imagination. But then we are often not aware of that 2-3 inches of rain falling on to 10.000 square km area is enormous amount of water.
I just spoke with my uncle who is a farmer on a farm close to Vatnajokull where my mother was born and where I used to work during summer holidays when I was young. Visibility y’day was no more than dusk, but it is little bit better now. All his sheep and animals are in house or by the barns where they can get hey and fresh water. So there is no one that has been effected by this eruption in other way that some people have to work long hours to look after their stock.
In Iceland we have excellent public rescue and safety system. There is a fully computerized high technical central in Reykjavik linked to stations around the country which are activated under those circumstances. They use special vehicles, even water and ash tight, to drive between places to assist people, hand out breathing masks and be sure everyone has fresh water and enough food, etc.
The news people tend to make the most of this. Armageddon or Ice age is beginning or what ever, but then within two to three days they have found something else to sell.
Basically I want you all to know this will in no way have effect on our FocusOnNature workshops. It might make some scenarios more dramatic, but in other way it does not have any effect on our program.
Thank you Einar, for that great information. Don’t forget to pass around the poster on my Iceland site. Link to it, pass it around, or even print it out. Check it out above or get it and any other info you need at http://brycox.com/iceland

For the next two weeks (until the end of May), get 10% off my Iceland photographic adventure workshop!! This is not cheap because it costs to put on such an event in such a wonderful part of the world, but it will be the photographic adventure of a lifetime! It covers all the hotels and travel throughout Iceland for our group, as well as personal and group instruction from me. I’ll be talking, teaching and helping everyone get the absolute best images possible as we move and travel to the best places possible.
Bry Cox - Icelandic Photographic Adventure 1
Twilight is one of the most beautiful times of day for me for light. But in Utah, it only lasts about 10 minutes at the end of the day. But in Iceland, the sun rises and sings on an angle so twilight lasts 4 to 5 hours each day! We will utilize this amazing time of day to create fantastic images all over Iceland. We will travel during the down times, charge equipment, and critique images, then get set up so that we can shoot again when the light is amazing! We will have local photographers guiding us through their terrain and country, constantly watching the weather for us so that we can be in the right places at the right times. We will adapt, change directions, and go where we need to create the best photographs possible. This is not a trip you could ever do on your own.
Bry Cox - Icelandic Photographic Adventure 2
Have you ever been on a trip with non-photographers and you see something you want to stop and photograph? Perhaps you are able to talk everyone into stopping once or twice, while you set up and create a few images, and perhaps you need to wait for the light to move and get better. But no matter what, your constant need to stop and look, and feel your surroundings begins to anger your group and you feel them grow restless throughout the trip. Eventually you either give up and just travel alone or you stick with the group and give up on creating great images. Sadly, the photos you do end up taking simply become ‘documentary’ images of your trip — but they’re not fantastic.
Well come have the photographic adventure of a lifetime! Come travel and have fun with a small group of photographers who think like you and want to stop and create great images. Come travel for the sole purpose of experiencing Iceland and the wide gamut of photographic opportunities that it offers: the shores, the mountains, the villages, the meadows, and everything in between, and do so with people that think and feel like you. There is no set agenda because we’ll be moving as we need to, to get to the right places for the week we’re there. We’ll be making the absolute most of our time there.
Bry Cox - Icelandic Photographic Adventure 3
During our down times, we will review what we’ve each created and then critique and fine-tune our images so that we can create even better images at the next spot. We will constantly be looking for composition, point of view, and impact. I will even show you some tips and tricks for digital workflow as well as digital enhancement so that your images look their best.
This workshop is limited to a small group of people, and we already have someone signed up from Egypt as well as others from around the country. I love knowing that we will work and create art with people from all over the world, each with a different way of looking at the world with their lens. Yet we will find commonality and camaraderie in being artists working together to create wonderful and inspiring images.
If you know someone that would be interested, please pass this info along. The 10% off is good for bookings through the end of this month. This is for photographers who love adventure, but it’s not limited to professionals. This is open to anyone who loves photography and adventure and wants to come with me, learn, and create some of the best photographs of their life.
For more info go to the official Focus On Nature website. To book your slot on my tour, click here, and check the box next to my name and workshop (Bry Cox). And contact me with any questions you may have. I’d love to see you in Iceland with me!! Come get lost in Iceland with Bry Cox!

[The photographs in this post were created in Iceland and are used by permission.]
This month, I’m on the cover of Rangefinder Magazine, a magazine for professional photographers.
While speaking in Vegas recently, I also had some meetings with some of my sponsors. One sponsor asked me to pose for a photo collage they were working on of some of their favorite photographic artists. The result I found out is now the cover of this month’s Rangefinder Magazine.
The idea was a hallway of photographers, each posed doing something else that they loved besides photography. Aside from photography, I really love guns, music, and I guess I could add girls to that list too. But not having any props prepared, I used my ipod as a substitute for a musical instrument. I also really like comedy and so I over-posed in a fun way, really low. This was the resulting image.
If you’re a professional photographer, this magazine should come to you automatically.
And if you’re not a photographer, but are looking for great images from an artist that trains all the other photographers around, then give me a call. 801-728-3317. Come visit with me and see how fantastic I will make you look in your photographs using natural techniques like light and optics. Look great without the over-retouching and plastic skin look. Great portraits are heirlooms, and everyone deserves images of themselves that they absolutely love!

PocketWizard® created a promo video of me using some of their new flash sync units. We filmed it while I was speaking in Vegas, and we shot right outside a casino. I used my good friend, Angelina as the model, and the resulting movie is now online on both the PocketWizard website as well as YouTube.
Angelina is one of my favorite models, and if you’ve followed my work, you’ve probable seen her before in other images of mine. She is fantastic to work with, and I was excited that she could be my model again for this, as I needed a real pro for this gig. Creating images while being video taped, is completely different than creating images for a client. Aside from the normal layers of creative and technical thinking going on in my mind, there’s also the added layers of speaking and explaining everything that I’m thinking, plus making sure that it is all clear and understandable, plus the knowledge that it is all being recorded. It is tough!
But I am happy with the results and here are some of the images I created during this shoot. We started on the sidewalk, and I picked a spot that had a great sky and background.
Then I talked Angelina into getting up onto this high spot, for another and background with a lot of interest.
Then, as it shows in the video (starting at 1:55), we climb into this cool rock garden. A sign in front of this spot says, “Please do not allow children into this area.” The video editor caught me saying as I helped Angelina over the fence, “We’re not children — we’re adults!” But as you can see, this place worked out perfectly for the rest of our shoot!
I really like the sun behind the model, and sometimes used it to create a cool lens flare. (A difficult lighting situation for amateurs who shoot their cameras on Auto.)
Then ended with a few close ups before the sun went down completely.
This was such a fun shoot, and I appreciate Angelina coming and being my model, yet again.
For some months, I’ve been using these sync units, but they were not available to the public. This video was created for the release of these units to the public. Some time ago, PocketWizard® asked if I would demo these, asking for my input so that improvements could be made. A competing company had previously given me some of their units too, but I didn’t like those particular units and found them clunky and unreliable. So when PocketWizard contacted me, I was excited and anxious to see what they had come up with.
After testing them, I really liked them. They now have a permanent spot in my rig.
If you are looking for a fantastic photographic artist, the one that trains all the other photographers around, then give me a call. 801-728-3317. Come visit with me and see how fantastic I will make you look in your photographs, using natural techniques like light and optics. Don’t settle for horrible photoshop retouching, weird plastic skin, or other amateur techniques that try and ‘save’ sub-par images. Just get great portraits from the start and save yourself a lot of trouble. Great portraits are heirlooms, and everyone deserves images of themselves that they absolutely love!

Iceland is one of the most fantastically beautiful places on earth, and was named “Ice-land” by the locals in order to keep people from moving there. It was a PR campaign that has worked, and has kept Iceland beautiful and untouched. Come with me and explore the mountains, villages, countryside, and anywhere else the weather may take us as we get lost in the artistic journey of photographing this wonderful place.
Come learn and be apart of creating spectacular images in a land where the light is unbelievably gorgeous and the terrain is incredible. In Iceland, the most beautiful light of the day, twilight, doesn’t just last 10 minutes, but 4-5 hours each day!
We will travel in incredible vehicles set up for us to charge our equipment if needed, we will stay in wonderful hotels, and we follow local guides who know the area and who will watch the weather daily, helping us make the most of our time in order to be in the best places needed to capture the ocean and shores, the clouds and storms, the grass, the meadows, the villages, the glaciers, and anything else we may see.
Come take the photographic trip of a lifetime and be blown away by the impressive and breath-taking views while soaking in the incredible fresh air. This workshop is limited to a small number of people so that you’ll get both small group instruction as well as personal one-on-one help from Bry. This is sure to help you see differently, be more creative, unleash the artist within, and create some of the best photographs of your life as well as learn how to electronically manipulate them into the most beautiful results possible!
(These two images come from the Iceland clothing company 66North.com website)
Perhaps we’ll meet and photograph beautiful and interesting faces while eating dinner in a local pub, or perhaps we’ll drive up to places that appear untouched by anyone. Come get lost in Iceland with me, Bry Cox, and leave the outside world behind for a season. Come have the adventure of a lifetime and leave with amazing and inspiring photographs of the most beautiful landscapes on earth!
NOTE: This is not just limited to professional photographers as most of my workshops are. This is open to anyone that just loves to explore and take photographs, whether you’re a professional, a hobbyist, or even if you are very new to photography.
