It’s Time for Beautiful Outdoor Family Portraits at Bry Cox Studio

by BryCox (Admin)Bry Cox Photography Blog, Children, Babies, Maternity, FamilyPosted on No Comments

Warm weather is here, the studio gardens are in bloom, and it is time for creating fantastic and artistic family portrait heirlooms.

Look at this wonderful family portrait. I always like to create a few variations for the big family portrait so that clients can pick the one that matches the feel and mood of their own family. This image was their favorite grouping, a square composition with the children all leaning in close. I love the feel of this. Everyone has a beautiful and natural smile, everyone looks great, and is lit and posed wonderfully.

As another option, I also created a painting of them walking through the studio gardens as well. Images like this are great for hanging in another room.

After the big group, I like to focus on each child and create something unique of each one. I focus on personality and work on getting sparkle in the expression, as well as using custom and exquisite lighting that flatters each person, as well as creating depth and contrast.

The result should be captivating and real. Strangers should be wowed by it and feel like they know the person by the genuine expression, and there should be depth created by the lighting that makes you feel like you can step into the image.

Individual portraits of family members are great for creating wall collages and groupings for other parts of the house. Later, each image can be moved into a child’s room as the groupings in the main rooms are updated.

Decades later, when each child has moved on in life and gone their own ways, each of these images will be invaluable to them as well as other loved ones.

We can even do a mix of portraits in the studio at the same appointment if you’d like a different look.

Your family’s schedule in the summer can be extra busy and it can be hard to get everyone together, but creating these memories is invaluable and now is the best time to get into the studio.

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

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.

Photographs for an Interior Design Job in Farmington

by BryCox (Admin)Bry Cox Photography Blog, Commercial & HeadshotsPosted on One Comment

A local interior designer named Jenna (JM Design Sparrow) is a great Interior Designer and artist, and she asked me to photograph one of her recent projects in Farmington, particularly the client’s bathroom.

There was a lot of attention to detail and I wanted to make sure that I captured, not only the look of the room, but the feel of it as well. I really liked this necklace holder on the vanity, for instance, and shot this with some purposeful optical blur for a nice abstract look.

This tub is one of the center points of the room, and I wanted to make sure that I showcased it with both panoramas as well as close images.

This panorama below was particularly fun as well as difficult to shoot. It’s hard to shoot a long image like this in tight quarters like a home, while keeping vertical lines and perspectives correct. I love how it turned out.

The entire bathroom was made up of custom and unique pieces of furniture, that all went together very well.

Even the details like the faucet and the lights were special finds and meant a lot to them.

There were some other areas too that were particularly fun areas to design, and she wanted images of these areas as well. These were mainly areas of gathering and relaxation.

Then while finishing up, I photographed the family’s tulips on their kitchen table. I just liked the colors and how they were lit naturally.

If you need some interior design work, Jenna’s the person to talk to. She loves integrating people’s personality and tastes into their own home, and solving the problems of texture, colors and space.

And if you need some great interior images, perhaps for a home your selling or to show off a design job, then give me a call. Hopefully you can see from my work that I am an absolute technician, focusing on the details of lines, balance, exposure, and specific lighting to create a professional and polished image, while at the same time giving you something that is new, creative, and interesting to look at too.

And now is a great time to set up your Spring appointment for your 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.
