Bonney Lake Panther Jacob Schlosser Swim Print.
Its been a tough year to get print projects done.
We had to get creative in order to make some prints happen.
This was one of those projects.
Fortunately we found a bit of warm weather and a fairly warm lake to help make this print possible.
No one was staying dry for this photo session. My wife knee deep in water is holding the portable studio light above me. I am waste deep but leaning over chest in the water to get low to the water for the shot as Jacob swims towards the camera. Luckily we managed to get a perfect shot at about attempt number 5 out of 7 tries.
Earlier in the fall I had been thinking about what I wanted to do for this print for Jacob. I new I wanted to do something with a gorgeous river or lake setting. And so we decided to stop at the Naches river on trip coming back from eastern Washington. I had short hike to this spot on the river and waded through river until I found a picturesque spot.

The look on Jacobs face after presenting this to him says it all! |
The image is printed on 16×20′ Kodak metallic paper which really makes the colors pop and creates lots of depth. You have to see metallic paper prints in person to appreciate them.
A photo on the web doesn’t do them justice. Thanks Jacob for literally being willing to dive in and make this print possible!

I was excited for the opportunity to create a Lacrosse print. And looking for the kind of dynamic angle that you would never be able to get during a live match. The set up meant crawling under the goal using a wide angle lens and doing my best to keep the 3 studio strobes for lighting out of the scene but still close enough to over power the sun. This composite piece had 3 elements, a close up of the ball, Carleigh shooting the goal and another of Carleigh representing the goal keeper in the shot. This was challenging enough but we also had the challenge of getting the images we needed before the covid quarantine went into effect during the spring. Thankfully we had some cooperative weather.
