I am very excited to share this image won third place in the Portrait category of the APA awards this year!

This was part of a shoot with Anthony of Fetching Feathers, who trained my dog, Tybee. We were racing the sunset to catch all these pigeons from his coop and get set up for the shot. What you don't see is Anthony's assistant trainer lying in the brush with a box of birds, trying to get them all to fly out! It took about 6 plates of the birds flying out in waves to make this image.

I love this shot because it was the perfect mix of a premeditated idea and serendipity. I knew I wanted this shot of Anthony with birds flying all around him, but I had no control over the sky or how the birds would fly out of their box, in the end, it all came together perfectly and is one of my favorite portraits I have shot so far!

Be sure to check out all the other winners from the competition! There is some truly incredible work in there. @apaatlanta @americanphotographicartists by @christopher_dowell

Anticipation...

When I think about what makes a good hunting photo story, the word anticipation comes to mind.
Because that's the part of the story we all know by heart. To show those moments of anticipation is to show the ritual of the hunt.

The ritual of preparation is when each piece of gear is inspected, handled, and accounted for. Sitting in the blind, waiting for that moment when the weight of anticipation finally becomes the sound of wings dropping into the decoys, and the first shots are fired.

Without anticipation, we skip right to the end of the story. by @christopher_dowell

Happy National Dog Day! I have been pretty lucky over the years to work with a lot of amazing dogs. They have taught me a lot about patience and being ready to roll with anything! by @christopher_dowell

@jackjohnson you have been the soundtrack to my life since jr. high. Your music has kept me company throughout every phase of life and with each new one I move through I’ve found new depth and meaning in your work. Getting to meet Jack and @zachgillalo before the show was an incredible surprise only to be followed by one of the best sets @mindy_taliaferro and I could have imagined. by @christopher_dowell
