EPSN The Magazine publishes first-ever travel issue

Though the focus in publishing these days is on ways to use technology like the iPad and the Web to keep print alive (here’s a recent article on Newsweek‘s efforts along these lines), some publishers are using low-tech, time-tested strategies to boost their ad pages. Like appealing to nonendemic advertisers. That, at least, is what [...]

New work: Jim Fiscus shoots beauty story for Oprah Magazine

Who says being a beauty editor is easy?

Video: Hans Gissinger’s “Water Girl”

Hans is no newcomer to film, having exploded into the medium with Tartas, a rather unusual celebration of pastries.

Is there hope for the annual-reports market?

Printed annual reports, for instance, have taken a hit because more and more companies are opting for PDFs and thus are much less interested in spending money on original photography. Kind of makes you wonder: Is [...]

New work: David Drebin’s decadent Virgin Airlines campaign

If you’ve been to London recently, you’ve probably seen David’s campaign for Virgin Airlines. It’s plastered all over the city. The ads, which David shot in Los Angeles for London agency MCBD, capture the freedom and decadence that a fun vacation represents—unicorn and all. . . .

New work: Michael Muller shoots the “dead” actors of “Lost”

. Entertainment Weekly commissioned Michael to shoot an exclusive portfolio of portraits featuring actors from the cultishly adored ABC show Lost. Well…technically it’s of actors who used to be on Lost. Click on the image below to see for yourself: . . .

Video: Nadav Kander cuts it up with Kimbo Slice

. Behind-the-scenes videos of photo shoots are tricky creatures. Like snapshots from a family vacation, they tend to be interesting only to the people involved. The rest of us find ourselves wanting more narrative, some humor, and maybe even someone getting body-slammed. All of which is contained in this video of Nadav’s 2008 cover shoot [...]
