Behind the Scenes

Wonderful shoot this week. Thanks to my wonderful crew and great talent, it went off without a hitch. Extremely exhausted right now but couldn't wait to thank everyone for all their hard work and effort. Here are a few behind the scenes shots from our last shoot. More details about the launch of this futuristic campaign to come. 

Noel

Noel we met through a casting for the Converse Booth at ASR. As soon as she walked in we started dreaming up our next shoot. With many thanks to the Sanuk Home and the use of their ramp, our ideas became a reality. Even in an evening gown Noel worked the ramp. 

Full Throttle Campaign..Fall 2008

Full Throttle Campaign Fall 2008

This was an amazing shoot to be a part of. Our Talent Joe Miller brought an energy to the shoot that we otherwise would of never experienced. Once holding the World Champion of the Atlas Ball,his love for the sport of "Strong Man" is seen through the intensity in his expressions. Joe came straight from a 10 hour shift at work to Lift 300lb+ objects for a full 12 hour day. Joes strength an endurance is seen in every photo. 

Ariat "Bring It"

"Yes,the riders can get crippled and even killed. But that's just the way of the West. They ride for the love-not money. Well,That and for the beer and to impress young girls. I guess some things never change. "-Cotton Rosser

This is one quote I found of Cotton's. What can I say about this shoot.... We had worked until 4 am the night before photographing all kinds of riders for Ariat. Cotton was our last talent of the following day. Wow was it worth the wait, no matter how exhausted we were!! To have the pleasure of meeting the King of the Rodeo was an experience in itself.  His tales of the rodeo could go on forever. I stood in awe the whole shoot trying to imagine living the tales he told. I knew this would end up being my favorite image from the shoot.
