COOK BANK BUILDING 2016

During a recent commercial shoot in Las Vegas, I took an exciting detour to explore the ghost town of Rhyolite, NV and capture the fascinating remnants of the historic Cook Bank Building. Despite a tight schedule, I made it a priority to visit this unique location, even venturing into the desert before dawn.

As an experienced commercial photographer with over 20 years of expertise, I thrive in challenging situations. With precise timing and meticulous planning, I embarked on my journey to Rhyolite, arriving at the site just as the first light of dawn painted the landscape.

It’s both exhilarating and unnerving to venture into the unknown in the early hours, but my years of experience have taught me to adapt quickly and ensure optimal conditions for capturing remarkable photographs. From the initial walk-through to the final capture, I meticulously timed each step of the process to take full advantage of the magical lighting that the desert sunrise offered.

If you’re in need of a skilled commercial photographer who can handle demanding schedules and deliver exceptional results, I invite you to explore my portfolio and reach out for collaboration

opportunities.
