Photo ZOne

Light Photography - Heather Campbell Morrow - Model Nina Keller

SUBJECT | FOCUS | BACKGROUND | INTENTION

These are a few parameters we consider for great ZO photos, and usually, those criteria boil down to a simple question. Does it fit the words or purpose we are trying to convey? The focus question is a moving target because sometimes we want it focused / sometimes we don’t. We need dark backgrounds if we’re going to put words over them – but this is a source of photo fights sometimes – lol. Those are always harmless because we’ve determined in advance that differences of opinion are just that.

My Heart — Oystein Sevåg

We have connected with many excellent and award-winning photographers.  Photography is a very prominent ingredient in what we present.  At a minimum, it is the blood of magazines. Check out a few of the photographers we’ve interviewed and featured below. (Photos of artists below, and in most of our slideshows link to interviews and spotlights . . .)
