Photographer of the week 09: Cowart
Tags:
Jeremy Cowart is a commercial photographer based in Nashville. His education was in art and design (graphic design), but after trying to launch a career as album designer, soon he realized his passion (and talent) was in photography. One can definitely observe how all of that has informed him as photographer.
Below is an interesting video, showing a little bit of the process behind one of his (for pure fun) project:

Photographer of the week 05: Frakes
I met Bill Frakes while attending a workshop in Wyoming. Besides being a neat person, he is a well seasoned photographer, extremely talented, and humble guy. I had a great time with him, and learned a lot by just listening and watching him work.
From Bill’s website:
Bill Frakes is a Sports Illustrated Staff Photographer based in Florida who has worked in more than 125 countries for a wide variety of editorial and advertising clients.
His advertising clients include Apple, Nike, Manfrotto, CocaCola, Champion, Isleworth, Stryker, IBM, Nikon, Canon, Kodak, and Reebok. He directs music videos and television ads.
Editorially his work has appeared in virtually every major general interest publication in the world. His still photographs and short documentary films have been featured on hundreds of Web sites as well as on most major television networks.
He won the coveted Newspaper Photographer of the Year award in the prestigious Pictures of the Year competition. He was a member of the Miami Herald staff that won the Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of Hurricane Andrew. He was awarded the Gold Medal by World Press Photo. He has also been honored by the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards for reporting on the disadvantaged and by the Overseas Press club for distinguished foreign reporting. He has received hundreds of national and international awards for his work.
Photographer of the week 04: Leibovitz
Annie Leibovitz
One of my favorite photographers of all, for her versatile, daring and crafty style. I was able to see her exhibition: A Photographer’s Life, and many of her original prints in Paris last year.

Thanks for sharing, Sandra. Very interesting points here, not just how photography improves presentation, but also receptivity, as it reaches our emotional side. They are the same pets, different light, background, and props, but beyond that, the shots provide hope, happiness, playfulness, and so on. Cool!
