Cindy's Shotgun Wedding

You don't get a second chance to work with Cindy Crawford, so there was obviously a little pressure. I took her to a place I know well - the ghost town of Nevada City, Montana as I hoped familiarity with the light and the angles would help me. I needed as many variables under my control as possible on an ambitious story line. The one thing we could not manage or predict was the weather and last week it was cold.

If Cindy was outside her comfort zone with the temperatures so low and a big wolf as a companion, she did not flinch. She is professional, stoic and game and it was an honour to work with a true American idol. She sets a high bar on so many levels.

It was a big effort for her to fly from LA to hang out with me and my team whom she had never met before and then work in freezing temperatures with some big wolves. She never complained and took no fee at all. Quite amazing.

50% of net proceeds from the sales of this image - Cindy’s Shotgun Wedding - will go towards her notable charity work - focused on raising money for children with cancer. She nailed the image and I think everyone will agree she looks fantastic.

I am very fortunate that she trusted me to do this and I am humbled by her professionalism and grace.
