Editorial Photographers (EP) is a non-profit
organization dedicated to improving the health and profitability of
editorial photography. Our mission is to educate photographers and
photography buyers about business issues affecting our industry, and in
the process raise the level of business practices in the profession.
I'm a dues-paying member of EP, one of a handful of photo organizations that I consider to be doing really relevant work. Among other things, EP has helped increased day rates among a number of prominent publications and has a really terrific primer on copyright registration.
So when Patrick Harbron, their Outreach Director, contacted us about providing some Personal Archive memberships for their student winners, we were more than happy to oblige. And it's my pleasure to throw a little spotlight on these deserving photographers. Y'all hire them now!

Colin Foster
Colin was born and raised in the North West of England, he started his working career in Banking but stumbled into the software Industry during the dot.com boom. Tired of 17 hour days, living and working in central London, Colin and his wife, Lisa decided to take some time out for themselves. It was the grandeur and vastness of the American West that finally put a camera in Colin's hands, desperately seeking to document the awe of it all. After two years of searching for a new direction Colin knew that photography was what he wanted to pursue.

Stumble Upon
So.... I have to say it that second Colin Foster image is getting pretty old... I have seen it done by several other photographers.
Not saying he derived his inspiration from others. Not saying he copied someone. But someone did copy someone in this. Dave Hill has done it, and someone else, whose name doesn't come to me did it as well with an strangely similar lighting set-up. I don't know who did it first.
Though it is similar to the "boot plagiarism" highlighted by Heather Morton earlier this week.
I think images slip into many people's subconscious and they start to believe it is their idea.
Brian, If girls would just stop boxing in the street we could stop making this photo! No but seriously, I understand where you're coming from. On the other hand, all of the winners are students/emerging artists, and the issue of plagiarism aside, I think it's common to try to replicate images that one finds appealing.
I have probably inadvertently copied an image. Actually I know I did... I shot a image and about a day later I looked at and thought to myself that I had seen it somewhere, it just seemed to familiar. It was basically a copy of a Callahan shot.
I'm curious why not one of these photographers is a woman. I wonder what that means.
...that colin foster shit is so cheesy.
