Outdoor Sport Photography with Pro Triathlete Jenny Fletcher

Recently, I had the oppurtunity to  work  with Jenny Fletcher for a Garmin ad campaign. This would be one of the moments where you think to yourself  ”okay, they say to play the cards that life has dealt you, but how is it some people end up with a royal flush?” Jenny Fletcher is definitely one of those people.  Her life’s course is anything but ordinary. At 15,  she was discovered by Mode Models, an international agency who soon had her flying off to Japan for her first shoot.  Jenny had always been involved in sports so it was natural that some of her modeling assignments took advantage of that ability.  In addition to modeling for the runway and photoshoots, she may look familiar from the Deal Or No Deal game show as one of the briefcase toten’ models. After several years of modeling, Jenny decided to explore a passion that she had held for many years, to be involved in a sport that would allow her to go from an ameteur to a pro athlete status. She had participated in several pentathlon events and tried a triathlon and was hooked.

She and her husband moved to California where she has been training for the past three years at the professional level. The Garmin ad campaign features Jenny with her Forerunner 910XT , which she is an advid user. Garmin, Forerunner, sport photography 

Scott Hepler’s Aviation Photography

Don’t you remember as a kid wishing you could fly? There is something magnificant about seeing birds in flight gliding down for a landing, or a glider flying overhead, tipping their wing to say hello and actually seeing their face!

On a recent aviation photoshoot of the hawkerbeechcraftkingair, nature provided so many incredible backdrops to photograph the airplanes.  You develop quite an appreciation for the enginuity and sophicitication of the planes. They glide so effortlessly through the sky, but having been inside the cockpit many times, I know how complex the instrumentation is to allow this plane to function at such extreme levels. It is easy to get lost in the flight and yet, it’s connecting with my subject that allows me to express the beauty of the subject.

 Aviation Photography is truly in the eye of the beholder. 

Scott Hepler’s Great Outdoor Photography

You know the ol’ saying “A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work”, this is the best of both worlds! On a recent campaign for Garmin International, I photographed  Scott Martin doing what he does best; finessing the line to catch yet another hog.  

Outdoor photography stirs the soul and provides such inspiration for me. Preproduction for such shoots requires anticipating the unexpected and at the same time, unlimited opportunites. Okay…..so I’m like a kid in a candy store when I’m involved in outdoor/sport/fishing/hunting photoshoots, notice I didn’t say work,cause it’s all GOOD to me!  

Three-fourths of the Earth’s surface is water, and one-fourth is land.  It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.~Chuck Clark

FISH ON!

What's for lunch?

I know I heard them  say in the production meeting that we were going to be photographing  lots of girls with big ta-tas…..not what I had in mind!

All kidding aside, seeing a dairy farm in operations from sunup to sundown is quite impressive. People in dairy and agriculture are some of the hardest working individuals I have ever met. It doesn’t matter if there is a snow blizzard or an emergency the show must go on!

You might be thinking, okay so you milk a few dairy cows in the morning, wrong! Try 1,000+ cows three times a day. In addition to attending to the milking of cows, they have to constantly monitor the gustation of expecting cows, seperate them to the birthing barn and of course assist in the care of the newborn calves. As if that isn’t enough to fill their work day, this farm is very particular about what they feed their cows so they plant and harvest their own silage.

Smile ladies, cause you’re gettin’ a makeover! Cleaning a 700lb+ cow and getting her to not wander off and step into poo again is sort of like changing a diaper on a 12 month old that has learned to run!

 Ladies you clean up well!
