a magazine photographer during the heyday of print publishing
During a 30 year career as photographer I had images published in countless magazines and newspapers worldwide. I worked freelance all of the time, though from 1988 till 2007 I spent the majority of my time shooting images for my own publishing company, Artasia Press, based in Bangkok.
While shooting freelance for Black Star in New York I had photographs published in many magazines, newspapers and books without ever seeing the hard copy. This included many non-English language magazines, and publications that I do not know or remember – so there is no chance of displaying them here. Below are some of the magazines of which I do still have copies, while others will be included in future.
Through the 1990s and up until 2007 I was essentially a mass-production magazine photographer, shooting huge numbers of images to feed the hungry pages of the several magazines I launched in Thailand and Southeast Asia.
It was lots of fun – shooting interesting topics in exotic places, and lots of pretty girls on beautiful boats anchored by idyllic islands in The Andaman Sea. But I was still not working on the images that I personally would have liked to be shooting.
Most of those remain in my head – and I have yet to find the time and resources to pursue that dream: shooting the images that have been floating about my dreams through most of a lifetime.
