Sarah is featured in the December issue of Trail Runner magazine. It’s a composite image: I shot the Redwood background plate earlier this year in the deep woods of Big Sur and photographed Sarah later on the track for a series on athletic portraiture.

The strobes fired via Pocket-Wizard radio-links while Nico dialed in the lighting as I needed it. Skeet could cast and drop his lure with precision, placing it right in front of my lens from twenty or thirty feet away.

Skeet and his family were great: he’s straightforward, driven and doing what he loves.
Something we should all aspire to.
