American Photography 28  annual competition recognizes the best photographs from the past year. A distinguished jury of editors from The New York Times Magazine, TIME, Newsweek/DailyBeast, and Details selected the best from 2011 that will be published in a book this fall. The annual competition recognizes the best photographs from the past year.

The large format portrait , entitled “Dana”,  was produced as part of a series exploring non-traditional light. It later appeared in a self-promotion piece

Based out of his 8,000 sq. ft. studio in Manhattan, photographer Eric Michelson’ vantage point is somewhat lofty one might say.  Peering down on the streets below, along the majestic Hudson, Eric spots interesting passers-by.  In a new series of work Eric captures the true essence of the native New Yorker.  

that “Bitters” won the James Beard Award in the beverage category for the second year in a row. Congratulations to our own Ed Anderson whose compelling images graced the pages detailing the history of this celebrated classic cure~all.

It’s always nice when a client graciously makes the effort to let us know how much they like a project, so when Macy Gray praised her latest promotional campaign (shot by Anders Hugo at her home in Los Angeles) we couldn’t be more pleased here at Dovis Bird Agency.
