Metropolitan Home Magazine: Culled from hundreds of stories that have run in Metropolitan Home magazine since 1999, Lassell focuses on practical advice homeowners can use.
"We wanted it to be a dream book, but we put a big emphasis on accessibility," he says. "We have very hands-on readers, and they want to be able to have or create the stuff they see. The text is really a guide to looking at the pictures."
Such, however, is not the case. It is true that magazine work has attracted some of the keenest, most sensitive and most capable cameramen of our time. Magazine photography can be the most spectacular, most varied, most challenging and most satisfying of endeavors. The true Camera artist can find more opportunity, more scope for his ability in magazine photography than elsewhere, and more appreciation for his success when he produces pictures which are out of the ordinary.
Consequently, those who can produce fine pictures have turned to the magazines for their outlet, and have made of magazine photography a highly honorable pursuit, one in which the successful are respected in any company, no matter how elite or intellectual. Of course there are hack photographers in the magazine field, just as there are hack writers, but generally magazine photography compares in public esteem with any of the other professions, though not in financial rewards.
