Alaska Winter Lifestyle Photo Shoot
We just produced and completed one of the biggest stock projects in a long time. Truthfully, the pressure of stock productions can be greater than some of the commercial assignments we've done primarily because we are financing EVERYTHING. Spending thousands on a...
A Fitness Shoot I Just Had To Take It Outside
I don't do much indoor work. But I do like to shake it up once in a while, come out of my comfort zone, and photograph something different. As with any shoot I do, I like to use people who are the "real deal." So I asked our awesome senior fitness trainer,...
Sunrise Photography in the Zion Backcountry
The first week of November is usually my favorite week to be in Zion Canyon in Zion National Park for the peak of fall colors. There are many other photographers who like this week as well. I saw more tripods in Zion last week than ever before! Trouble is, few (to...
New Work – On Assignment In Talkeetna, Alaska
TALKEETNA, ALASKA was one of three places I was sent to on assignment to promote Alaska as a vacation destination. Talkeetna, with a laid back funky vibe seemingly lost in time, has an eclectic mix of free spirits, rugged individualists, hard-core climbers and...
New Work: Hiking in the Dolomites of Italy
This is brand new personal work from our 11-day hike in the Dolomites of Italy. This trip was the closest I’ve ever come to having a real vacation since becoming a full time pro in 1992. Taking a break from the weight and effort of backpacking, we hiked from inn to...
Assignment Shoot Marathon
Three days after arriving in Alaska a shoot we’d been planning for weeks luckily fell into place. Talent, available boat, and weather all aligned in our favor. Operating on the typical Alaska summer sleep deprivation, we shot 3,600 frames in 30 hours at 3 locations...
New Work: Grand Canyon National Park Backpacking Adventure
In addition to showing new adventure images, I address degree of difficulty and creativity as well as sacrifice and compromise with respect to photography. Lauri and I completed our second weeklong trip on the Royal Arch Loop with longtime friend and backpacking...
A Successful Shoot: 70% planning, 20% camera operation, 10% spontaneous creative thinking.
All season long I’ve visualized a series of action images of a small child having fun, skiing down the mountain under the watchful eye of a parent. It took me two attempts to get something I’m satisfied with. I think success is directly connected to action and...
Simplifying Life and Photography While Backpacking
For a photographer who’s invested in an entire system whether you are a hobbyist, part time or full time pro it becomes difficult not to have your system with you whenever you shooting. Every so often, maybe even on a regular basis, it is good to simplify and go with...
Adventure Hike and Shoot in “The Subway”, Zion National Park, Utah.
I love this hike and love shooting in this kind of environment. We spent 12 hours, hiking, swimming, downclimbing, and rappelling with lots of gear (wetsuits, helmets, climbing harnesses and hardware, food, water, dry bags, rope, and camera and lighting gear.) At...
