Editorial: For SVPN
SVPN September 2016 Cover Image (Without Masthead)
I had way too much fun shooting this image for the September cover of SVPN's “Art” issue. To light the water, we stuffed remotely-triggered flashes into dry bags & strapped them to the underside of the paddleboard. We then leveraged the early light of the moon to bring the landscape & Bald Mountain to life. Jonny Fuego was a ninja at standing still on the board for the long exposure, despite the wind & numb feet. I had the warmer duty of shooting from atop an ant hill & fending off sprinklers & a pair of curious raccoons bent on climbing my tripod. On the actual cover image, you’ll notice we ran with the green water that naturally occurred when it was lit, since it helped pop the magazine. Compositionally, though, I personally prefer a more subdued blue for the water when viewing as a standalone image. I hope you enjoy the result!

SVPN July 2016 Cover Image (Without Masthead)
Here is a version of SVPN's July 2016 cover image without the text and masthead. I stood on a ladder for over 3 hours, with my tripod precariously balancing on a makeshift platform over a pond, but worth it in the end for the evening’s epic light show.
