I think it’s impossible to go wrong casting Sedona, Arizona as the location for a commercial shoot. The whole area is absolutely spectacular and offers a wide variety of terrain to work with. For a project last fall with Oboz Footwear, we needed to showcase a new hiking boot designed for hot weather and challenging […]

What’s better than backpacking across Wyoming’s Wind River Range? How about packing across it with you and all your gear on horseback. We were contracted by NOLS last summer to produce imagery for their horsepacking programs based in the Rocky Mountain states.

Founded in 1965 by renowned alpinist Paul Petzoldt, I felt privileged to work with an organization deeply committed to the sport of mountaineering. Up first was to produce a new image library showcasing the various […]

At the beginning of last year we got the chance to spend a week with the Crist family at their heli-ski operation in Haines, Alaska. And I mean the whole family; from Reggie’s 80 year-old dad to his two year-old son. The massive log home that serves as their Southeast Alaska base-ops was bursting at the […]

There are certain locales that a commercial photographer can count on for ‘on demand’ conditions. So Cal for that sun-soaked look. The red rock and blue skies of Utah canyon country.

Backpacking with a full Nikon kit, including two cameras and eight lenses? Can do. Hanging out on top of an 11,000 foot mountain waiting for that sweet light? No problem. Enduring a week of four-percent beer? Well, if we have to. We wrapped up the summer with a commercial shoot for the Utah Office of […]

Even though our robust travel schedule might say otherwise, our home base is in Southcentral Alaska. Just down the highway, the whole region is a temperate rain forest with some towns measuring the annual amounts of ‘liquid sunshine’ in feet not inches. So yeah, this is a good place to shoot rainwear. The outdoor brand […]
