Inside Real Studios: Laura Novak
It's a world where orchids, leather and a glass doorknob coexist as naturally as you please, and where, despite the ever ebbing river of life changes and success exhaling loudly, serenity finds itself in the existence of Laura Novak Studios, from the modern, appointed walls to a mysterious window to nowhere.

The Rockstars of Photography: Elizabeth Messina
She's humble, laughs off any intimations that she could be more than a photographer simply plying her trade and pursuing her dreams. Insisting she's just a mom, a wife, a friend, an ardent aficionado of coffee and chocolate, Messina is dancing to Beyonce while moving a nation with her distinctive photography.

Red Leaf Studios: Light Years Ahead
It was a match made in photography heaven. A handsome young camera wielder meets his model for the first time. What comes next eventually blossoms into a beautiful partnership-- and one of the most innovative photography studios in the business.

Whitebox Weddings: Outside the Box
In three years, Sara Brennan-Harrell and Melanie Litchfield have created a business and style that is "white" hot. Whether they're tearing up the town, shopping at Anthropologie, or working their magic in their most comfortable pair of pajamas, one thing is clear: They're never keeping up with the Joneses. They are the Joneses.

My Photo Phobia
Forget heights, snakes, spiders, and the dark. We need to focus on some real phobias for a change - like group portraits, malfunctioning gear, and...senior guys? These are what we like to call “photo phobias”, and they are as real as they come. If your photo phobia is getting the best of you, step inside for a good old dose of professional photographer group therapy.

Copy-right the Wrongs: What Every Photographer Should Know
As photographers, the work we create is our inventory: it’s our bread and butter and how we earn our living. With the proliferation of digital imagery, it’s become increasingly difficult to protect our copyright and ensure that we are paid for our hard work and maintain control over the images we produce. With this in mind, it’s important to learn about our rights under US copyright law and what steps we can take to garner the full protection it affords.

Sarah Rhoads: Blog
Sarah and Chris Rhoads pushed the envelope with the launch of their new blog last December, and are now reaping the rewards for thinking outside the box. Their innovative horizontally scrolling blog with its sleek, black and white color scheme and design are eminiscent of an unwinding roll of film. It works well for their personalities, outlook and approach, not just to blogging, but to photography and life.

Jeff Richardson: Not Your Mama's Prom
They never attended prom themselves, never set up their own cameras at a prom venue, never fell into the vast crevasse of clichés that accompany most senior proms. But then, Jeff and Michelle Richardson tend to break the rules, and a nation rejoices. Or at least they do in Bloomington, Indiana.

Gene Higa: Live Your Brand
How does Gene Higa live his brand? Design Aglow speaks with this photographic marvel about how he discovered himself and found his brand in the process.
