LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Don’t force the issue. Wait for it. Take a beat. Deep breaths. Listen. Not unlike life, photoshoots can be chaos... controlled chaos but chaotic nonetheless. No matter how much prep and pre production you’ve storyboarded and talked thorugh,...
TABLE OF CONTENTS LETTER FROM THE EDITOR I love photos, and rightly so. You wouldn’t be reading and perusing our work if we, me and my team, weren’t obsessed with what we do. That obsession, passion, is pervasive everywhere. So much that it often comes out in the...
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR NEW Year, New You... BS It’s MY Photo and I’ll Smile if I want to. I’ve never been big on this whole reinvent yourself guru mantra that gets spread at the beginning of every new year. Maybe it’s because my birthday always looms a mere few weeks...
