To me, being a creative is everything. It’s my livelihood. Photography was the passion that started everything you’re reading today. This issue is a special moment in time to reflect on the advancement of passionate art and technology. Without either of those things, it’s hard to say where we would be today. As you flip through these pages to see some beautiful photographs, please think about all of the long nights and early mornings it took to create it. Perspective is everything in 2020. I truly hope this gives you the perspective and inspiration to CREATE whatever you want.

CREATIVE CONTROL TIPS TO IGNITE YOUR CREATIVITY Many great things have started as a simple, creative idea. Being creative and thinking up world-changing ideas begins in the smallest ways. Everyone can be creative but they have to be willing to start. The creative process will then become more natural over time. The more creative you are, the more ideas you will be able to create. You can be creative even if you don’t think you are.
Meet The Founder
MIKE FOX Mike Fox is a published lifestyle photographer, entrepreneur, and founder of The Fox Magazine. From Bowling Green, Kentucky to Los Angeles, California, Mike now utilizes his skills as a multimedia entrepreneur that inspires + empowers people to chase their dreams and live a fulfilling lifestyle. His photography has been featured all around the world with clients such as FILA, The Chive, MedSailors, Blaze Pizza, and more.
Mike is a first-generation college graduate from Western Kentucky University with a B.A. in Sociology and a minor in Marketing & Criminology, which he’s surprisingly incorporating the education into business now. Two weeks after graduating from college, Mike packed up his car and road tripped from Bowling Green, KY to Los Angeles, CA on a mission to chase his dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur while inspiring others from all around the world to chase their dream too. He likes to call this.... “The Leap”. Mike’s work has been featured, bought, and displayed in various places that have allowed him to travel the world. In 2016, he got the opportunity to work as a contract photographer in Greece and caught the travel bug while finding his true passion for lifestyle photography. After traveling on assignment to 12 cities in a year and a half, he was convinced photography was his calling. This lead to the vision of something bigger than himself and in March of 2016 – The Fox Magazine was created as an outlet to inspire others to chase their dreams and provide them with the tools to make it happen that has evolved into other media/lifestyle businesses with the same mission.
