“Text and photos by….” Oftentimes we see these words at the top of an article, following a title and subtitle. That’s because in the publishing world we do tell stories in words and images, or “text and photos.” Our writing and imagery need to interlace and work together to bring a subject to life, grab readers’ attention, raise interest and intrigue, and thus tell a story in the most compelling of ways.
For the past twenty years, I have worked in the publishing industry, interviewing and photographing amazing individuals, and telling their stories in words and images. Here are a few examples:
Pioneer Works: World Pride 2019 cover story interview and photo shoot for A&U Magazine:
Preserving History: Cover story interview and photo shoot with award-winning activist and filmmaker Wolfgang Bush for A&U Magazine
Finding Strength: Cover story interview and photo shoot with international LGBTQ+ and HIV and AIDS activist Carlos Idibouo for A&U Magazine
Finding His Resolve: Feature article and photo shoot with advocate Omar Garcia for A&U Magazine
An Epitome of Strength: 2022 Pride cover story interview and photo shoot with actor, activist, and celebrity host Ron B. for A&U Magazine
Legacy: Feature article and photo shoot with NYC actor and comedian Steve Hayes, for A&U Magazine
