After my first publication with Xpresions Magazine in January, I have spent a great deal of time researching other magazines that take submitted works for publication by photographers. The past few weeks especially have been brimming with such research. I have set a goal for myself surrounding publication of my work. I aim to have a minimum of 15 publications in a variety of magazine by the years end, even if it is one image per magazine.
Finding suitable magazines has posed to be somewhat of a challenge. Many of them want high-end fashion images, which is not inertly what I am about. Others want images that have never been posted/published before, or don't take submissions at all. This hasn't detoured me though. I have found several likely candidates and have been in contact with some publishers eager to feature my work. So keep your eyes peeled for some great articles to come in relation to this.
All in all this has ignited a creative spark in me. I am overflowing with creative ideas, that often keep me up to all hours of the night planning on how to properly and imaginatively executing these ideas. I have enlisted several make up artists (yes my talented Griffin Shield is among them) to help bring forth these ideas and make them come to life. Ideas surround Harlequin images, frosty, or vibrant, colourful, sexy, and dark, hellish, and glamorous portraits. Over the next couple of weeks I will be picking some members for teams for such images. Meetings with make up artists will take place in order to organize and select models best suited for each idea. Some models will be ones that I have previously worked with and some will be new to my inventive fraction. So basically there is a lot of creative things to come this year.
The following images are just the start and are rather subtle compared to what I have in mind for the future. They are from my January and March publications with Xpressions Magazine.
Please check them out. They are a beautifully constructed magazine featuring local talent.
