Those that have not read my post on my other Blogs regarding this image can click here to get more details on the shoot. Those that have already seen the other post, this entry contains the actual spread as it appears in the magazine. Keep an eye out for the behind-the-scenes video coming soon!

It’s always exciting to receive that freshly-wrapped magazine issue in the mail, with an image on the cover that you just spent weeks tormenting over, and now you finally get to see how it turned out. I often tell people that is my favorite part... seeing the image in print, only then does it become a reality for me. This image I created for XanGo’s “Go” magazine, was really fun to produce, and of course I always seem to walk away from each production with great memories, even though It was definitely a serious workout!  Regardless, I loved doing it. The icing on the cake would have to be when the person in the image, and/ or the client is just floored with the final piece, and explains that they had thought they had a pretty good visual of how it would turn out, but after seeing it completed admit they had no idea it would tun out the way it did. My favorite is the smile on their face, especially over the phone... you can just hear them smiling. 

I think this spread really worked well with the story, the image... everything. Besides that, just getting to know Eric and his family was a great opportunity in and of itself, and as you will soon see from the coming video, I feel it safe to say that everyone involved had a fantastic time.
