Behind the Scenes: Rock Climbing Photoshoot
I've always enjoyed outdoor activities so to be able to create images that inspire me is a blessing. This image captures the moment a rock climber reaches his destination; the peak of a mountain. To create an image like this the most important aspect is the expression. The model needs to look exhausted to make the image believable. So, after consecutive jump roping and numerous attempts in the studio we got the shot. We used a fog machine to help blend the image together in post production. Next came the background which had to be made from paper mache. The miniature model was simply created by paper bags and paper towels. Once dried, it was spray painted and a snow effect was applied. The last step was finding and compositing a rock into the image. So, I ventured next door and photographed my neighbors rocks. After the shooting was complete came hours in Photoshop to blend it all together.
