This is one of my favorite images that I did in a welding shop here in Orem, Utah called Utah Powder Coatings. There's nothing like photographing welding to make one feel like a real man....except for perhaps actually welding.

playing in the rain!
I shot these images back in April. But with the way the weather has been, I could have easily done these same shots in May...or June...and who knows, at this rate, maybe even July! I arrived on set about an hour early, and the skies had great texture in them. I got nervous that they would flatten out before we could get shooting, so I photographed the them before the talent arrived. Sure enough, when we were ready to shoot, the skies were a dead flat grey...Boring!!! That was OK though because I was confident that I could get the final image that I wanted, knowing that I had pre-shot the skies. So the skies were really there...just not at the same time as the talent! I love having the compositing option! Big thanks to Mary Beth for sticking it out in the rain for two hours of shooting, and also Josh for introducing me to Mary Beth!
Burning stuff in the studio
So how could I do a shoot of frozen stuff without doing a shoot of burning stuff as well. I have to admit that as I was doing this shoot I was having a hard time believing that I actually do this for a living. I mean, how many people get to make cool props, douse them with flammable liquids, burn them and take pictures of them as they are engulfed in flames? Ahhh, good times, good times.
Salt Flats Shoot
Right around the end of May we did a 3-day shoot at the Salt Flats. It was right before it started getting hot, in fact the temps went from a high of 65 on day one to a high of about 85 on day three. We snuck that shoot in by the skin or our teeth. In case you haven't noticed, I hate shooting in the heat...I hate the heat in general.
