One of my favorite aspects of editorial shooting is that it leads me to shoot subjects I wouldn’t normally pick on my own. For example, my furthest experience with golf is that of the “mini” variety, plus maybe 2-3 rounds of disc golf. Athletics, as a whole, is definitely outside my normal realm of interest, so being asked to shoot a cover for a golf issue is definitely an experience that brings out different imagery than I would normally seek.

That being said, you don’t want to push things too far without a backup either, so I shot some slightly more traditional images, and then went ahead with my intended concept as well (plus one totally ridiculous shot, taken by Beth Wall, who is our new intern at Circle Six). I’ll go ahead and show Beth’s image first, and then just roll on from there.

Nix that. My connection sucks. You only get Beth’s shot, and the cover and TOC.
