double take.

Tagging along/art directing campaign photo shoots is just one of the many perks of my 'j-o-b'. I've gotten lucky,  collaborating with some insanely talented photographers, and with every shoot comes an opportunity to one-up our last effort. I really can't think of a better way to spend a work day. We definitely have our fun.

One of the down-sides to creative direction though, is leaving classically great shots behind. Just for fun, here's my all-time favorite out-take, fresh from the [proverbial] cutting room floor:

Trial and error.

Setting up an outdoor adventure shot for the Walters & Hogsett - Face it. You've done crazier things. engagement campaign proved trickier than we'd imagined. But once we figured it out-- MAGIC! Watch as Jessica Folkerts [pictured below] our stunning globe-trotting/nature girl/model-- emerges from her cocoon, simply glowing.

And like the genius pro that he is, Ben got the shot! It's a wrap... or was a wrap. Er, something to that effect. Thanks Jess, for being as good a sport as you are gorgeous. A huge thank you to Ben Horton as well, for always finding a way to make... it... work.
