New Images for Dave & Deb in the Morning, Z104 Country (KSOP)

Posted by BryCox (Admin)

Dave & Deb from the morning radio show at Utah’s Z104 Country KSOP, came in for some new portraits that they could use for their new billboards and website.

We shot the images on my fashion gray background because it works for so many things. It’s great just as a gray background, but it’s also great for knocking out or creating custom backgrounds later. See the difference between what I created above, and the original image below.

We had a great time joking around at the shoot, and I can see why they are so good at what they do. They are very funny and spontaneous, and very genuine too. They play well off each other, and the constant laughing made the shoot extra fun.

I really liked the black jackets they brought. The jackets made for a real lighting challenge though. I needed to light the jackets with highlights in all the right places to keep them from blocking up, and to create separation and dimension, but at the same time I also had to light their faces just right too. I really liked the end results and like the expressions and feel of the images they picked.

Of course we did some individual images as well that can be used on their website and other things.

Start looking for these images on billboards around the Salt Lake City area, and listen to their show too if you get a chance. And if you need some cool portraits for your business needs, give me a call. 801-728-3317. I know just how to make you look amazing!

Until next time, America.

Bry Cox Interviewed and Featured in Professional Photographer Magazine, October 2012 Issue

Posted by BryCox (Admin)

I was interviewed by Professional Photographer Magazine, a publication that goes out to all professional photographers throughout the US as well as other parts of the world as well. That interview is now out in the current October 2012 issue.

This is the cover (image is not by me), and below are some screen shots of my article where all the images are mine.

The article is humorously titled, “The Anti-Specialist” because where most photographers need to focus on one niche or another to succeed, my particular specialty has been to focus on exquisite lighting and emotion. I mix technical proficiency with a unique style of creativity to develop images that tell a story of the person being photographed, and hopefully makes the viewer feel like they know the person. It’s a uncommon approach that allows me to photograph a mix of genres well, like families, children, weddings, and even celebrities and VIPs.

For the opening spread, the magazine chose my images of Linda Rondstadt and Olympic Gold-Medalist, Rulon Gardner.

The last image used, is of 90 year old sax player, Joe McQueen. Interestingly, this is the second time this magazine has asked to use this image. I can see why as it really is one of my favorite portraits. It shows dramatically what exquisite lighting and emotion can do to make an image unique and inviting.

I really appreciate and feel honored to have been interviewed for the magazine, and I love the direction they took with the article. I hope other professional photographers find it interesting and helpful.

Well, until next time, America. 🙂
