Happy to see this image, shot on assignment for onX Hunt a few winters ago in Pennsylvania, show up on the company’s home page this week. We spent several cold mornings out in goose blinds tucked into farmer’s fields in rural Pennsylvania and New Jersey for this shoot, and it was a productive few days!
I’ve always had a love / hate relationship with making images in the dark. Nighttime shooting requires full concentration and not a little bit of creativity, usually while navigating some random outdoor setting. In this case, shooting winter waterfowl hunting in Pennsylvania, it involved hiking through marshy swamps in the cold pre-dawn hours to set out decoys and wait for the dawn to break and—hopefully—bring in the ducks.
This image was shot as b-roll during an assignment for onX Hunt photographing / writing about goose hunting in the Northeast, and I’m really pleased to see it make the cover of an Orvis catalog. Just goes to show that frozen fingers are usually worth the trouble!
I’ve been doing quite a bit of work with the gang over at onX Hunt, tackling writing and also photography (when I can sneak away). Recently, I found myself venturing away from the fishing world and heading out on assignment for onX to rural Pennsylvania and New Jersey (aka: not my usual haunts) to photograph a late-season goose hunt.
The resulting images and stories were used cross-channel for the brand, including a dedicated blog (Camaraderie in the Blind), email, social media images and takeover, as well as stock imagery for image archives. Check out the full breadth of the mini-campaign here, and let me know where you think I should be heading next to photograph!
