The cover of PDN
November 21st, 2009
We are on a roll! a lot of announcements coming up… Some of it will sound like we are bragging, and that may be so, but i’m just too excited not to show off what we are doing.. A few weeks ago we were featured on the Today Show, and now one of our images is on the cover of the mother of all photography magazines: PDN - Photo District News! As a Las Vegas photographer who got his wedding photography feet wet in a chapel on the Strip, I feel these last few years have made us feel that we’ve really made it… From being barely able to make a car payment to opening up what we hope to be the premier photography studio in Las Vegas to shooting rock stars (more on that in the next post) life under the AltF brand and all of our hard work and dedication to our art is paying off!
PDN: If you are not familiar with this magazine it is the magazine ,myself included, that most photographers dream of getting the cover of. Well i can cross that one off my list now! To pop my own ego bubble myself, PDN didn’t search us out, we were recommend to be included in an Lighting article by our really good friend Jason Groupp who along with myself and Zack Arias (another of my favorite photographers and good friend). Well they picked the cover from one of the 3 of us for the lighting issue cover. I’m just happy, humbled and thankful that we get to stand beside the talents of Jason and Zack in the article. Thank you again so much Jason for including me in and allowing me to strike off an entry on my wish list.
Also thanks to Amber at PDN for sending me some copies, which i have been struggling to get here in Las Vegas.
And who is that on the cover? Well its Alyssa and Jim, from a wedding and Bridal we shot in Bethlehem, PA. in April. check their post out if you haven’t seen this cool couple before.
