My Lighthouse Image Featured in PPA Loan Collection Art Book

by BryCox (Admin)Awards, Bry Cox Photography Blog, Published February 22, 2014March 24, 2025No Comments

My lighthouse image, “Isle of Light” scored so well last year, that it is now featured in the PPA’s Loan Collection Book that just came out.

The “Loan Collection” is a group of the highest scoring images (about 7%), that go on loan to the PPA for a traveling exhibit. The loan images are all published in a book each year, and my copy of the book just arrived.

It’s always a great honor to get a Loan print and add another Loan Collection book to my collection. This image will also soon be featured in a magazine article on it’s creation, which I will post when it is made public.

You can also purchase this image from my Scenic/Art store here if you’d like a beautiful canvas to display in your home or even office entry.

Until next time, America.

My Painting of Annie Featured in Meridian Magazine

by BryCox (Admin)Bry Cox Photography Blog, Published November 17, 2013March 24, 2025No Comments

This week, one of my images was featured in Meridian Magazine. They interviewed my friend Annie Rosevear about her band, “Annie Romance” which she left in order to pursue a music career in LA. Before she moved, she came in to the studio and we created some images for her to use in her promotion, and from that shoot I created this painting, the image featured by Meridian.

Pictureline Blog Article – Model Shoot Testing Rogue Flash Gear

by BryCox (Admin)Bry Cox Photography Blog, Published, Women July 16, 2013March 24, 20252 Comments

About a week ago, I told you I had a cool shoot to share. Well this is it. Pictureline, which is my favorite camera store in the country, asked me to review the Rogue line of flash diffusers for a blog article. I tested the pieces by taking a model out to shoot in high-bright sun, low sun, bright shade, and deep shade.

See the images I created along with my setups in the article today at http://www.pictureline.com/blog/rogue-flashbender-review-and-giveaway-with-bry-cox/

I want to thank Pictureline for asking me to do this. They are a fantastic store with a fantastic staff. Being a photographer, random people are always asking me what camera or lens they should buy. Though I may share my opinions, there really are too many options now for consumers, especially those who are not full-time pros. The best place to get advice and to buy any gear whether you’re a pro or not, is at Pictureline in Salt Lake. Even if you live further away, they are still the best place. If you go there, you’ll see why it’s my favorite store.

Well until next time, America.

Bry Cox Image of KUTV Anchors Used in Salt Lake Tribune

by BryCox (Admin)Bry Cox Photography Blog, Commercial & Headshots, Published November 26, 2012March 24, 20252 Comments

One of the images I just shot for KUTV a few days ago was just used in the Salt Lake Tribune for a story about KUTV winning the November 2012 sweeps.

It’s always fun to see these guys and work with them. I’ve photographed them a number of times both for the station as well as doing personal shoots for them over the years. Some of my favorite shoots have been Shauna Lake’s family and her cute boys as well as Matt Gephardt’s incredible wedding in Cabo San Lucas.

For this recent gig, I shot their entire staff of anchors, reporters, and weather teams, and all the various combinations of individuals and groups for their morning, afternoon and evening teams, both inside and outside. The images I created will be used for all their signs, printing, and web use, as well as various TV promos for the next year or so.

I’ll post more from the shoot later, but for now I wanted to wish everyone at KUTV 2 a big congratulations on winning the November sweeps.

If you’d like to read the Salt Lake Tribune article on their big win, I’ve linked it here:

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

by BryCox (Admin)Awards, Bry Cox Photography Blog, Published October 14, 2012March 24, 2025No Comments

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. 🙂

Bry Cox on the Back of Zion’s Bank Community Magazine

by BryCox (Admin)Bry Cox Photography Blog, Commercial & Headshots, Published September 21, 2012March 24, 2025No Comments

Hitting 60,000 mailboxes right now is the Sep-Oct Edition of Community Magazine by Zion’s Bank. On the back is a full-page Pictureline ad featuring me and one of my favorite images.

There is a caption next to my photo. It’s my testimonial of Pictureline that reads:

When I started my studio seventeen years ago, pictureline was there to support me. The store is clean and aesthetically pleasing, and the staff is very knowledgeable. They’ve made my business and priority, and because of that I consider them friends and I value their advice.

There’s nothing that compares to holding and trying new cameras or equipment out first hand, and buying locally will ensure that I get the very best quality and support possible. We’re lucky to have pictureline in our backyard. – Bry Cox

The image chosen for the ad was from a fantastic and exciting shoot that I previously posted here on my blog, and below here is a video showing the entire shoot. You really need to see this video. Every single image is amazing.

If you get this magazine, make sure you turn it over and take a look at this. I really love this photograph and it was a real honor to be asked to be apart of this ad. I love photography, the entire photographic industry, and Jens not only has an amazing store, but he’s a great supporter of photographers and the industry. I really appreciate being associated with Pictureline and I hope that this ad does well for them.

Bry Cox Featured on Pictureline’s Blog – Wedding Equipment & Preparedness

by BryCox (Admin)Bry Cox Photography Blog, Photography Workshops, Published September 3, 2012March 24, 2025No Comments

I was interviewed by Pictureline for their blog on my equipment list and my approach to preparedness and problem solving for weddings. It’s a short read, and as you will see, my approach is simple — be over prepared. When people are putting the most important events of their lives in your hands, to me, that’s the mark of a real professional.

Drunk people run into you and spill drinks on your gear, old people and kids knock things over, hot-shoes break off, cords start to short, batteries and cameras sometimes just stop working, extreme weather, temperature and humidity cause failures, and leafs and curtains sometimes jam up causing a colossal lens or camera failure. All of these things have happened to me at weddings and I’ve been prepared because of my rule of three.

Check out the article here. http://www.pictureline.com/blog/bry-coxs-wedding-gear-on-the-go/

(Pictureline is the best camera store in the country. Their staff is the most knowledgeable of any I’ve seen anywhere, and they’re the nicest too.)

Bry Cox featured in This Month’s Photography Magazine, ‘Rangefinder’

by BryCox (Admin)Awards, Bry Cox Photography Blog, Commercial & Headshots, Photography Workshops, Published May 25, 2012March 24, 2025No Comments

I’m featured in this month’s Rangefinder magazine, a publication that goes to all the professional photographers. This is how the cover looks (which I didn’t shoot).

It was for the big WPPI event in Vegas for which I created this collage below, mentioned in a previous post. I was pushing and hoping this would be the cover, but it didn’t make it for that. However, it was used in the story, positioned on the edge of the page to catch viewers eyes as they flip through the magazine.

Here’s the opening spread. I added little targets on my images (5 of the 8 on this spread).

The bottom left image is a multi-image stitch created by Alain Martinez, one of the other two people on the project with me. He shot me and another of other prominent photographers one by one, and put it all together for this one image.

There are more images of ours in the story, along with a little write-up of the three of us who worked on the project: me, Alain Martinez from Miami, and Henk van Kooten from the Netherlands.

There is a book that will follow, and I’m very excited to see how that comes out. It was a real honor to be asked to work on this as well as to work with Alain and Henk and get to know them better.

On another note, it’s spring time and now is a great time to get a new family portrait. Give me a call at 801-728-3317 to schedule a time. And feel free to browse my main website at BryCox.com.

Bry Cox Interviewed on What to Look for in a Photographer (Pictureline)

by BryCox (Admin)Bry Cox Photography Blog, Published, Wedding Day, Albums March 8, 2012March 24, 2025No Comments

I was interviewed to help brides on how to pick a wedding photographer, and the article published today. Brides are confused as the term “professional” has been muddied. There is nothing wrong with being a new photographer, but there should be disclosure and brides should know what they’re paying for when they hire someone to cover one of the biggest events of their lives.

If you’re a bride and you follow the help in this article, no matter what level of photographer you hire, you should have a much better knowledge of what you’re getting beforehand.

Bry Cox Interviewed and Featured on PocketWizard Blog

by BryCox (Admin)Awards, Bry Cox Photography Blog, Commercial & Headshots, Photography Workshops, Published August 8, 2011March 24, 2025No Comments

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.

Bry Cox on Cover of Rangefinder Magazine!

by BryCox (Admin)Awards, Bry Cox Photography Blog, Photography Workshops, Published, Thoughts May 12, 2011March 24, 2025No Comments

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!
