Jared Platt - How I Got the Shot

Professional photographer and educator Jared Platt shares with us how get got the shot in this exclusive video! This image was shot in northern Arizona at Slide Rock State Park for Luca Magazine. In this shot there was a lot going on, with the river, blue sky, rocks, and our three models and of course, the sun is as bright as can be. Because it was for a double truck spread in a magazine, the direction of the shot was fixed and so was the frame, so we couldn’t just simply turn them away from the sun, the issue had to be dealt with. By tethering this shot, we were able to get an instant approval from the client, and be absolutely certain that our composite was going to work before we moved onto another shot.
