When I first signed on to the task of creating this family portrait for the Prater Family, I couldn't have known the immensity of the project that resulted. In short, this Reality Shoot required two separate wardrobes that were pulled from two different states, (including some items having to be shipped in from across the country), a medium-level studio shoot in Salt Lake City, followed by a full warehouse production back in Los Angeles, two separate location-based shoots with nearly 1000 total miles of driving to scout, and ultimately shooting in the remote high deserts of Utah. These miles were in addition to the nearly 4000 miles and two plane tickets that it took to get me back and forth from each shoot. The image further required the use of reference photography, allowing me the ability to photograph the school bus seen in the picture, by means of digitally cutting, splicing, and drawing much by hand, and ultimately recreating the bus they once knew so well, and yet, was long gone in reality. The image additionally called for live hamsters, a full-size motorcycle, a dog, lots of great styling, hair and make-up, (thanks Meredith and Chelsie), tons of delicious food, and a fantastic crew! As always- thanks to my wife Tami as well, for taking care of everything while I was physically, and mentally away.
