Behind the Camera

AS OFTEN AS A FATHER OF TWO YOUNG BOYS CAN, NICK WILL POST HIS THOUGHTS on a recent photo shoot in which he deconstructs his method for you — step by step by misstep. From inspiration to final crop, you will have the opportunity to share his creative process. It's all of those little things that make professionals professionals and make amateurs say, "Wow, I never would have thought of that."
