In November I started working on a series of pieces for an exhibition coming up in March 2009 in Philidelphia. Now that the shooting is complete I am heads down in the editing process working on a load of compositing and post production. Along the way I have spent quite a bit of time on some great Photoshop and digital arts websites getting a bit of inspiration. One of the things that I keyed in on was the willingness of the artists to share their progress, what their working on and how they do what they do. It’s incredibly interesting to see how each artist works through their piece and what order they attack their phases in. It inspired me to post some of my own work in progress and if anyone is interested I’ll work on some tutorials as well (and if there are any special requests, shoot me an email). This shot here, “Rising Tide” (working title) is part 1 of the work in progress. I’ll post more in the coming weeks.
Was recently notified that my website design for Josh Cole Photography was chosen to be added to the book, Web Design Index, published by Pepin Press and will be distributed worldwide. The book will be published later this year.
Thanks to Mr. Haggart at APE for sharing a link to the online version of the 2008 Annual. I could not find it for the life of me. Seems that the online gallery of winners was released 2 days ago. Thanks for posting the link Rob.
(note: my ol’ lynden portrait can be found in the corporate design/photo product section)
A couple months ago (roughly) I received an email from PDN (Photo District News) magazine announcing that I made the 2008 Photo Annual. Well, to my surprise I received my latest issue of PDN magazine today, which happened to be the Photo Annual. Made it onto page 126 with a shot from the Lynden packaging shoot. Thanks to all the judges this year. It is greatly appreciated.
A while back I was interviewed by a European advertising industry magazine called Sign Cafe. Well, I got my issue of the magazine and it was an incredibly pleasant surprise. There were about 20 some questions in all, so I figured it would be a couple pages of interview and maybe a couple of images. It ended up that the feature/interview was 17 pages. Dang!! Totally did not expect that. And they did an incredible layout and design job with the supporting graphics. Thanks a ton Sign Cafe Magazine. It is greatly appreciated.
Issue 11 is out on shelves at Barnes & Noble, Borders and other popular bookstores. Beyond the fact that JPG Magazine is full of photos from some great photographers from around the world, this issue is a little extra cool for me. Out of 11,000 entries I was one of 17 photographers published in this issue under the “Are You Ready To Rock” section for one of Lynden photos. So if you get a chance, give it a check on the magazine stand. Thanks to all of you that showed your support and voted to get it in front of the judges. And if you have a moment, give their site a visit as well. A lot of good stuff to be seen. More at JPG Magazine Website.
