There’s always some sort of lull between shooting and seeing shots be published. Sometimes it’s nice and short — my favorite thing about newspaper work is there’s usually only a few days between the shoot and publication. Other times it drags on… I’ve had projects 18+ months in the making. Anticipation somehow makes it all that much more rewarding when the images finally hit the streets.
This past May I was fortunate enough to travel to a remote atoll in the South Pacific, Anaa, to work on a project with Costa del Mar and the IndiFly Foundation. We had a week on location, assessing the fishery and getting to know the locals. There’s something magic about working in those far-off places, and hands-down that’s been one of my favorite shoots to date.
A few of the images made it into a feature in the latest The Fly Fish Journal, and I was thrilled to see more released in Costa’s 2016 Dealer Guide. The entire book is themed around the trip, and, as always, it’s interesting to see what shots the agency uses. More images, along with a write-up, will be released in Australian publication FlyLife in the coming months.
Check out the “case study” on my website, and browse through a few of the most recent clips. Huge thanks to the folks who put this shoot together; people can make or break a shoot like this, and in this case we clearly had an A-Team along.
