Behind the Scenes of the Stetson Campaign

Monday, November 16th, 2009

We had an exciting four-day shoot in Colorado this summer for Stetson’s latest national ad campaign, and I’m excited to be able to share the images. The scenes ranged from a hero shot of a Stetson cologne bottle set against the majestic Maroon Bells to lifestyle scenes at a rural fire station, a working ranch, and Aspen’s famed Belly Up nightclub. Many thanks to agency partners Gregg Bergan, Jerry Stafford and Eric Espinoza of Pure Brand Communications in Denver and everyone from Stetson.

National Geographic Adventure Spread

The first snowflakes have fallen on the slopes of Aspen and Snowmass, and I’m excited to see several of my images published in national magazines this month. Snowmass is running an ad campaign in Travel & Leisure that I shot last season — thank you to Traci Schalow of Promotional Concepts for art-directing the shoot. Also, the November issue of National Geographic Adventure Magazine features two of my photos, including a 2-page spread of snowboarder Tyler Wilcox launching into the stunning Cirque at Snowmass. And Elevation Outdoors has my cover image of Pat Sewell cliff jumping in Aspen for their Oct/Nov issue.

Shooting in an F-16

Thursday, November 12th, 2009


This week I had the incredible opportunity to fly in an F-16 with the 120th Fighter Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colorado for an assignment with 5280 magazine. I brought several Canon cameras with me in the cockpit, capturing powerful stills and video over the Rocky Mountains while four other F-16s flew right on our wing. Captain TenEyck LaTourrette piloted our ship with aplomb (and drilled me with a surprise 7.5 Gs right at takeoff … uggh). A special thanks to Captain Kristin Haley for making this shoot possible!
