Profiles and Portfolios
Michael Creagh: Fashion In B&W
One look at Michael Creagh’s portfolio is enough to see he’s not like most fashion photographers. He’s as skilled as any at making beautiful photographs, but his work showcases a simpler sensibility. To an outsider, Creagh’s style might appear to be...
Cherie Steinberg & Hedley Jones: Synergy
Early in her photography career, Cherie Steinberg was honored with a Canadian Council for the Arts award, which allowed her to travel the world.
George Fulton: Master of Characterization
It’s not often that people balk at being characterized as a master, but that’s what George Fulton did. He was fine with the “master” part, but when we told him we wanted to call him the master of commercial HDR, he hesitated.
John Michael Cooper: Master of The Anti-Bride
AltF Photography is the rather unusual name for wedding photographer John Michael Cooper’s company. Perform said function in Word (Alt F), and what you get is the iconic ƒ-stop symbol.
Doug Menuez: Master of The Long Form
It’s an arresting image: a shadowy figure, arm outstretched, about to mug a homeless man sleeping on a park bench. With its strong lines and framing, the photo not only captures a chilling moment, but it also evokes suspense, empathy and meditations o...
Miss Aniela: Master of Flickr
Miss Aniela is a photographic self-portraitist, or as I keep hearing with unbelievable regularity, “One of those self-portrait artists who likes to take pictures of herself.” When I meet her, I’m struck by her personality. It’s almost antithetical to...
Al Magnus - Master Of Imagination

Roderick Angle - Master Of Visual Rock And Roll
From rock and roll to the punk movement, musical revelations have reshaped society and shook up the standards of their time. With raw inhibitions, the forefathers of these revolutions stood up for young people and for a change in society. It was...
Peter Langone - Doing It All
Absolutely adaptable to any situation, photographer Peter Langone’s single expertise is that he can do it all. His keen understanding of the business side of the market has taken him from humble New York beginnings to a thriving enterprise in the...
Tyler Stableford - Authentic Adventurer
Hanging off the side of a mountain is no place to learn lighting, but that’s exactly what Tyler Stableford did. As a climbing magazine editor and outdoor enthusiast, Stableford loved photographing his adventures. He knew he wanted to pursue p...
Bob Krist - The Kerala Project
The fifty or so drummers and horn players are glistening with sweat and reaching a crescendo of almost deafening loudness when I finally feel the tap on my shoulder. ...
First Takes: September/October 2008
August Bradley - The Stylish Storyteller
As the son of a photographer, August Bradley grew up studying the medium closely, yet he says the primary influences on his work aren't photographers, but authors. It makes sense, really, when you consider that his objective is to tell stories. He...
