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!

Interiors are very difficult to photograph, in fact they are some of the most difficult and time consuming things to photograph. Most people would think so, but the fact is that all the angles, lines, and perspectives all have to be taken into consideration and mixed in such a way to create something that’s both attractive and interesting, while also drawing attention to what the designer wants to showcase, and this usually has to be done in tight quarters and spaces while making the place look spacious.
Abby also had me completely recreate and design a website for her from scratch. She directed, giving me the look and ideas that she wanted, and I created and coded it all from there. I integrated various flash players to keep the content in the window frame. She didn’t want people to have to scroll down. I love the design! It is so beautiful, clean, and consistant. Check it out and see what you think. (
Here’s a shot of one of the integrated flash players. With this particular home, you can click on the thumbnails to view the home before and after, both inside and out. The results are stunning and the end result is completely unrecognizable when compared to the before shots.

His business is a wonderful idea for consumers, and completely unique, while being completely free! He investigates and approves only business that stand up to his background checks and levels of integrity, and offers a $1000 customer satisfaction guarantee to customers that have a problem with them.
Here are some of the images we created for his business and website.
Bill is so fun to work with. I’ve done photography work for him other times in the past both for his family and work, and he is as fun and likable in person as he is on TV. We had a great shoot and I love the images and am proud to have him use them in his new endeavor.
Bill’s name carries a lot of weight and trust here in Utah, for his defense of consumer rights. I am excited for his new website and business and think it is a genius idea!

This next one is gorgeous! It is so pretty and has a real music vibe to it.
And next a black and white smiling image, showing the flute. We used a wind machine in this one, and I like how real and genuine her smile is.
For this one I used some extreme fashion lighting and chose to affect the colors slightly, setting the red jacket off against a deep blue background.
And finally, one serious one showing again with her flute.
What a fun shoot! I know Annie will go far with her talent, and I’m proud to be associated with her and her endeavor. She’s going to go far!
This was one of my favorites! They look so great together, and the image is so loving! And notice how almost all of their favorites were black and white. Black and white has such a timeless quality, yet it is hip too. It is a great mix of classic and new, all in one.
And then we ventured outside. I have a half-acre of English-garden style landscaping, but in the winter it’s not green and lush. However, it is always interesting and beautiful in black and white. Here’s what we created. First this series of three images which will hang in a trio.
And finally we finished with them running off down my country street, as if they were running off to get married.
It was a great shoot and they’re a great couple! I’m so happy that they found each other and I know that they will make each other very happy.
The design is so fun, so fresh, and really captivates the love and emotions of the wedding day. We really lucked out that day with a spectacular storm. It left the sky at the temple cloudy and wonderful, yet the rain stopped during the time we scheduled for photographs.
I then showed everyone how to post-process the images with some of my custom-made effects and edges. I really liked this model. I specifically picked her because she was fun and flirty and had a great look. I loved her eyes and cheek bones. We really got some great images!
We went to the Paris area because it had overhangs to block the rain and was also the least ‘cheap’ looking place in town.
These were taken just before we got kicked out of the area by casino security. Apparently we can take all the photos we want with dumb cameras, but when you have a good camera, some gear with you, and a bit of an entourage, it suddenly is forbidden. But that was fine. It was late, cold, rainy, and we were getting tired.
I asked my “out-of-town-girl-buddy,” Angelina to come help me run my table, and I’m so glad I did — we were swamped. We ended up needing even more help, and other photographer friends that were there came and chipped in to help me fulfill all the orders. So thank you to Angelina, Travis, Troy and Teri for your much needed assistance. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without you all.
And one of Angelina doing a self-portrait with her camera phone for one of her personal art projects.
A day or two later, we went back out to the beach and just played, creating fun images again. Here’s a sampling of the images I created that day.
I actually spoke twice, doing a lighting demo at pre-convention and then later on the main stage during the main convention. The lighting demo was actually 3 classes repeated throughout the day. Then later that week I spoke on the main stage. Here’s a photo of the room looking from the main stage, as I was setting up.
I like this photo because it shows the incredible depth of the room. The brown podium and stage at the front of the room look so small and tiny from the back of the room, and here you can see all four projection screens.
On the national level, there can be more than one photographer of the year, and there are levels, bronze, silver, gold, and diamond. I won the silver. This is based on how well your images do in national competition. I’ve previously won 2 other national photographer of the year awards too, in the bronze catagory.
