Christopher Petrich is bringing his extensive and varied portfolio of high quality collectible photography to the high-end arts market with the publication of cooLphoto magazine (ISSN 1558-7126) at Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/), the world's fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books.

cooLphoto magazine will feature images from the artist's 45 year career, some never before published. Petrich's unique vision artfully melds highly personal studies of people with broad, masterful landscapes. You can see the fruit of his mature vision in the exquisite cover image of the premier issue, a haunting portrait of a woman fishing under a heavy sky in the half-light of early evening in fall. All his work is hand-made in black and white, using rapidly disappearing silver-based photographic processes. His portfolio is available online at coolphoto.com.

Petrich created cooLphoto magazine to promote his photography to fine art galleries and discriminating art buyers across the nation. He plans to publish the magazine on a quarterly basis, and subscriptions are available. cooLphoto magazine is available for single-copy purchase at http://www.lulu.com/.

For Petrich, the key is Lulu's free print-on-demand publishing service. «With Lulu, I am totally in control from concept to hard copy to distribution. My vision remains intact throughout the process. It's really smart business because there is no front-end-cost load with on demand printing. I carry no inventory. And the quality is good,» said Petrich.
