After working on the new site and blog for the past few months everything’s finally come together. What you have here in front of you is a large collaboration and I’m indebted to Neon Sky Creative Media for all their work. Jayson, Erin, Aleece and Brandon were good enough to assimilate a barrage of ideas and concepts into their own polished final product. Don’t hesitate to let us know what you think.

Likewise, with the new year underway I wanted to dole out props to the past year – a great one it was. The numerous clients, agencies, assistants, models, athletes, behind the scenes people and others have really come through. Special gratitude to Lowell – your the man, good luck on the next adventure.

As for this outlet, I’m typing furiously with intentions of sharing how the business of location photography works for those of us motivated enough to brave it outside metro areas. Nearly all materials (books, lectures, etc) on photography have been and continue to be focused on specific areas, ie, places with resources, rental shops and excellent sushi. With the expanding role of technology, however, business, visual media and photography are exponentially more mobile and less dependent than ever before on place.

What counts more heavily in the world today is business sense, tech knowledge and of course camera skills (though sharing a name with a candy bar never hurt either). None of which are inherently locale dependent. With that in mind, I’ll be floating ideas here that work or don’t as they pertain to location photography and the ability to excel in the business regardless of your local population base. Besides, any day is better when, like this AM, you can get a sunrise summit and a few turns before work.
Looking forward to the dialogue,

Heath
