Mountain Workshops 2010

Last night concluded my first Mountain Workshops, a photography workshop focused on photojournalism. Surrounded by amazing coaches, photographers doing amazing things in their field, I had a great experience. It was a challenge, it pushed me, but I had great support. I was frustrated by the story (or lack of apparent story) that I drew out of the hat, but after two rough days I had a breakthrough, both shooting and with figuring out what my story was. This was my first time doing a photostory in the pure journalistic sense. I am proud of the result, and will publish it on here sometime soon.

It's been a crazy month since I've been back in the US. This week just added to it. Almost a month ago I bought a used car, a 2005 Scion xB. I really loved it; it was the perfect car for me. Just the right amount of space, great gas mileage, and fun to drive. Wednesday, in search of a feature story in the morning light of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, I did something stupid and this is the result.

So ends the story of Carlos, my perfect car for a month. He is totaled, but I'm lucky to be uninjured, as are the two guys and a dog from the other car. I am sad to see him go. But I can't wait to find Carlos, Jr.

Indian Celebrity Magazine Shoot

Sorry it's been a while. A lot has happened in the last month. I went to Rajasthan, I moved back to the United States, I stayed in New York for three weeks, bought a car, drove to Massachusetts, climbed two mountains in New Hampshire, and tomorrow I finally drive back to Indiana. Oh, I also changed my logo.

New business cards are printed, and I'll get my website updated. The old web address will still work, but my new official address is www.dscottclarkphoto.com. There are just too many Scott Clark photographers.

I'll leave you with a shoot that I did way back in June of the Bollywood star, Dino Morea. It will be a fitness feature in an Indian celebrity magazine (hopefully it will be published next month). It was a great experience and Dino was fun to work with. My good friends Sharad and Vinay helped me out on the shoot, and Sharad secured a set of studio strobes with a 60 inch octabox for me with an additional lighting guy!

I shot this on the roof of the gym with ambient light and two speedlites.



The feature includes Dino's trainer helping him with his workout.




I am excited to see it in print. Hopefully I can get my hands on a copy.

I am overloaded with images from shoots I haven't been able to edit yet, so lots of updates will be coming soon!
