I am asked to write articles for various professional photographer magazines, and this month I’m 3 international magazines, all at once!
Professional Photographers of America, Professional Photographers of Canada, and PhotoWorld Magazine of China all asked me for articles, and coincidentally, they all printed this month, August 2010.
All US professional photographers should get this magazine in the mail automatically each month, but in case you’re looking for it on newsstands, here’s what it looks like.
My article is on Fashion Posing — how to break the traditional rules of posing to create something exciting. The basis of my article is that you have to know the rules of traditional posing in order to ‘break’ those rules and do something completely different, but that actually works visually and compositionally.
Here’s how the first page of my article looks (page 82-84).
I’m not only honored to be in this magazine, but feel it a special honor that I am in this magazine at the very same time they have a tribute to my favorite photographer and one of my ultimate photographic influences, Richard Avedon. Avedon was one of the most influential and longest standing fashion photographers in the industry, and he passed away in 2004.
He really raised the bar with fashion and advertising and storytelling, and I have sought after all of his art books (which are very expensive). I think I own almost all of them now. His article is on page 22-24.
You can see parts of the current issue at the official website, PPMag.org. And if you are a regular Bry Cox Blog reader, then you’ll remember I mentioned writing this article in a past blog post.
As far as the the Chinese and Canadian magazines go, I have not yet received my copies, but will post about them when they come.
