Catching Up

Sorry if I've been slacking off, folks. My editors have me working a week or two ahead and they don't want me revealing our content until it's gone to print.

I haven't been posting any of my day-to-day stuff because I don't feel that it's really post-worthy, but here are a couple of the photos I shot on June 3rd for our June 12th cover and double truck. The concept for the cover was fully mine, and it was a real relief to have the cover turn out the way I had envisioned it.

It's really pretty stressful setting these shoots up; getting everyone involved on the same schedule and getting clearances for the locations. This was shot at the Mesa Golfland/Sunsplash Lazy River (cover) and water slide (double truck) at 8am before the park opened at 10am. They had to bring lifeguards in early so we could shoot.

I retouched the first two images myself...Something new to me that I need a lot more practice doing. The others were done by my art director.




I also had to go to each of these water parks for general shots for the magazine... I think I put 100 miles on my truck that day zipping around all over the Valley.
