Tiger Woods spotted at Publix

Today I was strolling thru Publix in hopes to stock up the kitchen's supply for food. Out of curiosity I took a glance down the magazine aisle and low and behold there was a Golf Digest / Tiger Woods cover shoot I worked on with Dom earlier in the year at Reunion, FL.

The story behind this cover shoot is somewhat amusing.   The original agreement was that Dom and I would have 15 minutes with Tiger and the other 15 minutes would be shared with the great legend sports photographer Walter Iooss. This would of been a total of 30 minutes. What you should consider is our set up alone consisted of 12 strobe heads, 6 packs, a 12' backdrop + a 9' backdrop. Not to mention a 8x10 camera and a few long lens angles high up on ladders. All this tech talk means it took us a full 12 hours of set up and another 6 hours of rehearsal so that when Tiger walked in we were efficient and wasted no valuable time.

On shoot day our time with Tiger was cut short. Dom and I ended up with roughly 7 minutes to get 'the shot'.

Below is the cover image Golf Digest ended up running + what our set up looked like.. Fun times!
