A shoot of this magnitude is a symphony of specialists. My presence on the ground was about maintaining the Future Gold standard while working in tandem with an elite crew to ensure every frame met the magazine's rigorous aesthetic demands.
The Production Engine: Collaborating directly with the Producer and Art Director to translate Glamour’s vision into a digital reality. I worked in the pocket of the Lead Photographer, ensuring the Digitech had the feed necessary for real-time adjustments. Aesthetic Guardrails: Coordinating with Stylists, HMU (Hair & Makeup), and PA's to protect the integrity of each look. In this environment, the "vibe" is as much a technical requirement as the lighting. The Subject: Working with Lexie Hull. Capturing a professional athlete in a high-fashion context requires a balance of movement and poise—highlighting the strength that defines her career while embracing the editorial elegance of the "Women of the Year" honors.
There is a unique beauty in a large-scale production where every person is a master of their specific craft. Working alongside the Glamour team reinforced the core philosophy of Future Gold Media: whether I am acting as a solo documentarian in the mountains or a key player in a 20-person crew in a studio, the goal is the same—visual permanence.
Lexie Hull is a force, and capturing her for this milestone was a reminder that the best stories are built through the collective energy of a dedicated team.
Next projects.
