Happy New Year! 2016 stands out with some unique differences from past years at HagePhoto. Many of our projects now include a video component as a matter of course. Some of our work was commissioned strictly for social media campaigns instead of traditional advertising. And with the birth of our son (!!!) we decided to operate […]

Two years ago I found myself finishing art school getting a great photography/design job at an alternative magazine in Orange County, CA. I traveled all over Southern California shooting music festivals, food reviews, news features, and even the occasional freelance gig for Spin Magazine.

The best way to work with real people, as opposed to professional models, is often to make the shoot a lot of fun. And a shoot with active lifestyle brand Smartwool last year was the epitome of that advice. The creative and marketing team had gathered some of their ‘fan field testers’ at their world […]

When we were getting started, one of the first magazine projects we worked on outside of Alaska was a travel assignment documenting a tour of backwoods hot springs in British Columbia.

A couple years ago we were enjoying spring in Sedona, mainly to climb sandstone towers and ride the stellar single track. But we were also shooting a new line of multi sport hydration packs for Platypus Hydration. On ‘rest’ days from the bike and rock, we fit in a handful of day hikes to produce […]
