Photo editors are a picky breed. That’s why for a photographer, getting your image on the cover of a magazine is a huge compliment (Or, it was just better than any other available choice). This spring two magazines featured Walker-produced photos for their March 2006 covers. Art In America featured an exhibition view of Huang’s Bat Project IV (2004-2005) shot by Gene Pittman. Yishu Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art made a somewhat unusual decision to use an artist portrait on their cover with terrific results. Artist portrait of Huang Yongping by Cameron Wittig.
