THE OFFICIAL WRITEUP
We have put together a collection of the best locally grown photo work online and in the issue.
In print, we have interviews with punk/metal photographer Tony Lynch, skateboard documentarian Nick Ghobashi, and nightlife voyeur Nate “Igor” Smith. A Mike Wood spread from his Modern Cowboys set and a round table discussion with photographers Ken Howard, Ian Graham, David Kenedy, + Cameron Lewis on what it takes to be a photographer in RVA. Great commentary on that stuff from some of the most opinionated people I know.
Plus, online interviews and images by award winning photographer Scott Elmquist, our own black and white image maker PJ Sykes, Karen Seifert, Joseph Talsman, Michael Otley, Rebecca Ward, and Sylvia Plachy on RVAMAG.COM.
