When I went into David Uhrin’s office, the art director for
Hampton Roads Magazine, I had a funny feeling. He was explaining to me how the process works for selecting the cover. Dave shared with me that the selection is chosen by a panel of editors and the publisher. He baited me in by saying, “if you don’t get the cover don’t get discouraged. We have to be mindful of our demographics, viewers, blablabla.” Then he showed me the cover. Yes!!!!! Shooting a cover gives a photographer so much credibility than words can explain. I owe alot of credit to my dear friend and photographer colleague Veronica Dana (another awesome dam photographer) for introducing me to Dave and the magazine about a year ago.
Veronica Dana photographed the previous cover of the magazine and did an awesome job. Kudos to my office manager Shalanda and publicist Dawn. They keep me organized while creating the “buzzzzz” at the same time. basis. My girls are great! Their efforts have resulted in our photos being featured in America’s Bride Magazine, Vow, Hrwedding Guide, Destination Weddings, and a host of others in 07. In the next few days, I will be adding a new gallery called “press”. This gallery will consist of editorial features, magazine layouts and covers or any media related news concerning
Keith Cephus. Kudos to my intern Sarah. I can’t say enough things about this amazing young lady. She assisted me on this project from beginning to end. Sarah, thank you! I tell you, when it rains it pours. I just got a call today to find out I got a book cover as well. Bishop Courtney McBath is coming out with a leadership book this spring and is using one of our photos on the cover. God is good!!!!
