Location Shooting

• Our location for photographing the new products for another home catalog was on national forest land. Unfortunately, the regional office recently underwent some budget cuts, and stopped issuing photo permits for three months while it caught up on other work. We shot elsewhere.

• We were taking outdoor cover shots on private land, but the land bordered a public lake. For one shot we needed to put the tripod in the water a couple feet from shore to bring the distant mountain and apparel model into proper alignment. The permit to place the tripod in the water had to be reviewed by four different federal agencies, and took two months to get.
