Malibu Lifestyle Shoot
I must admit I love summer time in Coeur d alene. There is nothing better than a long day at work and an evening on the boat with all your friends. Well actually there is one thing better and thats working hard all day on the boat and spending an evening with your friends wakeboarding!
Blue 541 which is an advertising company in Coeur d alene asked me to photograph their new ad campaign for Malibu boats. Of course I said “Yes” since I love being on the boat and I have a little experience in the wakeboard lifestyle. The concepts they came up with sounded so fun, we immediately came up with numerous photo ideas for this campaign. We also lucked on the weather the last couple days. It has been a long cold spring and Monday was our first real nice day with a temp of 70 degree’s and blue sky’s. Tuesday was the icing on the cake with it being 80 degrees and another gorgeous bluebird day. After a couple long days shooting I think we nailed everything they wanted. I need to thank all of the models that helped out. Especially Chris Craig (professional wakeboarder who is also sponsored by Malibu boats) for taking time off of work and helping me out. I need to give a shout out to Ten- Eighty wakeboard clothing for supplying product for the models. Everyone should check out Ten-Eighty’s site and buy some gear. This company really believes in supporting the industry and its riders. Not only that but a lot of the images on the website are mine. Thanks Scott! Last but not least I need to thank Rocky from the Coeur d Alene Yacht Club. Rocky set us up with some sweet brand new Malibu’s to use for the shoot. If your in the market for a new boat go see Rocky.
Now it’s time for some photos!
I even try to use flare in my commercial work. I love this image!
Last but not least, here are a couple images of me hard at work.
Chris Craig enjoying a cold one during our break. Make sure to get the new Wakeboard magazine, Chris and I collaborated last year and got a couple images in the most recent edition.
