Sourcing Models

source link I’ll let you in on a secret — in the outdoor industry, most of our models are our friends, and most of our “shoots” are really adventures where we bring a camera along for the ride; to get some work in on the side. Friend Jackie at Orvis is always down for an adventure, and when I lived on the East Coast we found ourselves out fishing whenever the chance came along. Brook trout in hillside streams? Bring it. Bass during the dog days of summer? Sure. Stripers off Martha’s Vineyard? Hell yes. These two images, recently published in an early spring Orvis fishing catalog, both feature Jackie.

We were both eager to get outside after a long winter, and after battling a downpour and wind strong enough to create spray, called it a day and headed into town for a coffee, uncaring that our under-wader sweatpants drew less-than-approving looks from vacations New York City fashionistas.

We were hunting gar, and she piloted us around a shoal where we cast at the prehistoric fish. A good, hot, fun day with lots of laughter. I’ve yet to meet a career model who would hop up on a platform and try to push a boat around a windy lake.
