Tim Gruber and Jenn Ackerman use both photography and video to tell stories for editorial and commercial clients. 
Not sure how we might help you? 
Coming Soon! Every year we'll be publishing at least two magazines of our work. Look for our first issue soon.
Editor and Publisher have announced the winners in their 2007 Photos of the Year contest. Read the article here. See the gallery of winners here.
There’s some great images and others that leave me puzzled, but that’s the nature of contests.
An overhead umbrella shot winning best feature image in the 25k to 99k circulation category? It’s a fine daily weather feature, but in a contest?
Sure it’s easy on the eyes and there’s nothing lacking in the composition department. But this is a photojournalism contest not an art contest.
Where’s the content? Where’s the journalism?
Contests are often seen as setting the bar in this industry and I’m not sure the judges are sending the right message with this one. Nothing against the photographer, but this one falls short for me on what E&P lists as their definition of a feature photo: Features: A storytelling photo used in any section of the newspaper, often with strong human interest.
Perhaps I’m being over critical thanks to my picture story class this quarter and have demanded more of myself, my classmates and the industry as storytellers.
For me this image doesn’t help increase our voice as storytellers if anything it puts us back in the category of a being a service department.
Rant off.
I totally agree with you. WTF. My guess is that they didn’t have many entries, at least I hope that was the case.
I hope so Zach. If not it would of been interesting to listen in on the judging in this category. Hope all is well out in Vegas.
Each image costs $25 and each photo story costs $50. Although the entry fee is a write off, it nears a vanity contest. Furthermore, the fees don’t go toward scholarships like Press Club contests. They go into E&P’s bank account.
I’ll save my entry fees for POY, SNPA and Atlanta. BOP and WPP are free – as they should all be.
