Group fire pit lifestyle - in 10 minutes or less

We were tasked with shooting a feature photo for the new Elway's Restaurant at the Lodge at Vail last week. With over 20 people including live music. Only problem was that we could only have the area for fifteen minutes. This included staging, lighting, direction of the talent and, oh yeah, shooting a photo.

Shooting the past week's events at Beaver Creek Resort brought lots of challenges highlighted by Body Miller and Lndsey Vonn winning downhill and Super G respectivly.  The bitter cold of -15 on Monday's race; Men's Giant Slalom was a test of endurance and satmina for everyone from the racers to the photographers and course workers. These images will be used to help with the brand photography campaign for Beaver Creek and Vail ski resorts as they move toward the 2015 World A;lpine Ski Championships.

Didier Cuche is one of the fastest himans on skis and shooting him ripping by at 70 mph can be a challenge. Here he is just about to drop over The Brink on Beaver Creek Resort's Birds of Prey downhill course. What a rush shooting such amazing atheltes. { And getting it in focus ! }

Shooting at Bimini Bay Resort we had an opportunity to include some of the local Bahamians. Kalik is the island beer of choice and Captain Jack - hiis real name - was the perfect subject for the ad shoot. I asked him to take his beer and stand under the spary of the pool's fountain, then shake out his rasta dreadlocks. What an image.
