We’ve photographed every Bassmaster Classic for Yamaha since 2012. More accurately, we’ve provided a massive, over the top, green screen photo booth for the past 11 years. In March, 2020 it was the very last event we photographed. When I deplaned from Birmingham at Baltimore Washington International, my phone blew up – every event was […]
I call it “instant intimacy”. My mom calls it “the friendly dog approach.” Whichever. Often we are hired to go to corporate offices, nationwide to photograph the entire team for updated headshots.
