Dennis Welsh takes you on vacation!

Dennis Welsh recently shot the campaign for Hacienda Beach Club & Residence, located in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Dennis and crew had 3 days of shooting to execute the creative director’s vision of what the resort had to offer. He said it was both a terrific challenge and a great deal of fun.
"My favorite image of the entire shoot is the little girl draped over the model’s shoulder on the beach. I had this idea in mind before we arrived, but this little girl had never modeled before. When I discussed the idea with her and the model, who was playing her father, she said 'Great!' That little girl put absolutely all of her energy into it. When we got back that evening and went over all of the images from that particular shot, it was the very first frame that we used. I knew at that point we were off and running!"
"When it came to shooting the kids, I simply let them be themselves. Whether it was in a pool, with an underwater housing, at the ocean’s edge, or in a boat. I shot quickly and never stayed too long on one idea. That gave us the best energy and the kids looked natural, because they were just being themselves and having fun."
"The mornings were early and the evenings ran late. It was an amazing collaborative effort where everyone gave their best and the hard lines of job descriptions were softened. I can’t tell you how many times I saw my digi-tech carrying his equipment and an armload of dresses on hangers!"
"All in all, this was an amazing shoot – efficient, fun, and completely without pretense. That’s what made it, in my estimation, an effective production and I think it shows in the campaign."

Rick Chou Takes out the Trash

Rick Chou recently did a photo shoot for the new Glad trash bags.

Below:
"Stephanie, the stylist is stuffing a trash bag to make it look perfect in camera. Which turned out to be a very challenging assignment. It requires tons of patience and team work. Aesthetics aside, photography is really about problem solving."

Bonini's Clunkers

Recently, Steve was contacted by Creative Director Bart Cleveland to see if he had any existing images that depicted run down automobiles. Well, he was in luck because when Steve isn't out there on jobs, he can be found roaming the U.S. shooting an array of oddities from planes to people, dogs to drag queens, and well, in this case, run down cars.

Bart loved what he saw, and a campaign was born for client Slipstream Autocare, based in Colorado.

By the way, Bart was the same guy who hired Steve to shoot the images for the conceptual Porsche of Albuquerque Ads. A memorable 2009 campaign that landed in the award books.

Shot in Florida by Curtis Johnson. The robotic arms are all CGI.
At the time this was shot, the corn was recently planted and growing incredibly fast. Curtis said he would come back the next day and the corn would be 2 inches taller!
