How executive portrait photographers master the five-minute photo-op.

Digital technology is accelerating the means of delivering images to eyeballs, but the world’s hunger for news about people, and fresh portraits of them, will never be satisfied. So says Seattle-based photographer David Perry, who specializes in what he calls location people scenarios for annual reports and magazines.

"We have become image junkies as a society, " says Perry. As a result, he see...

The Slot Canyons, this issue's Destination, actually straddle the border of Colorado Arizona and Utah. Shirley Simon-Glaze shot this month's placid cover photo near the Slots. Seattle photographer David Perry, featured in our Executive Portraits story, traveled to China's Great Wall for a cellular photo company.

Brilliant hues await in the slots, the focus for Gary Luhm's trip to the desert plateaus of Utah and Arizona

The slot canyons of the southwestern Colorado Plateau (mostly southern Utah and northern Arizona) are peculiar phenomena of Navajo sandstone.

Favorite Gear: "I use Dyna-Lites, because I can travel with them," Karen Moskowitz says. "I use a Mamiya RZ. I don’t have a 35mm camera right now. It got stolen a couple of years ago, so now I just rent. I’m a big renter. I keep the minimum amount of gear, and rent stuff locally if I need extra firepower. I don’t use digital cameras. When speed is of the essence, I’ll scan my proof sheets and e-mail them to editors in New York. I’ve e-mailed high-res images to Germany for...
