State Fair Cover

I shot this cover last week in Gilbert, where feed hay farms are still common. I liked the hay bails because they made a simple, clean background and still sort of communicated "State Fair." My other idea was to shoot on a carousel but I had a hard time setting that up with my time constraints.


Here are a few more shots from this shoot.

Oktoberfest & The Irish Festival

Here's a sampling of my weekend.... I had to shoot both the Way Out West Oktoberfest and the Arizona Irish Festival. Tough assignments, I know.

The Irish Festival featured bagpipes and beer...

While Oktoberfest featured polka music and beer... I'm beginning to see a pattern.

Back to Shooting Covers!!

Here is my first College Times cover since getting the new model release forms from our legal department. This was shot in Phoenix at two separate locations on September 21st... I couldn't post any of these photos until the paper had hit the stands today. I shot another cover last night, but you won't get to see that one until next week either, so hang in there.

Here are a few of my favorite alternatives. I was hoping to get a good beer splash photo, but the model was a petite little thing and had a hard time handling a full stein of beer (it took three beers to fill this thing!!). It wasn't until the stein was nearly empty that we got a good splash.
