For the last three summers we've shot something NBA related; three years ago it was the Knicks coach for the New York TImes, last year Carlos Boozer for Mens Fitness, and this year Kevin Durant for Dime. Because the NBA Summer League Games are hosted by UNLV and also as team USA Team holds practice here at one of Vegas' local high schools, Vegas just needs some pro balling......  
 
One of the things we love most about our job is working with so many different kinds of people; one day we're shooting a cover for a major mag and the next we're shooting an awesome bride and groom getting ready to tie the knot.  
 
One of the things that really distinguishes photographers in what we do is experience. When it comes to commercial work, prior assignments really contribute to our expertise. About 90% of the time, we have about 10 minutes to pull off an image and produce a cover image that will not only knock the socks off our clients, but will also capture the attention of the viewer.  
 
Shooting Kevin Durant was entirely different for us; luckily we had an hour to pull off three different looks and although he was a little tired from an all day practice with Team USA followed by a commercial shoot with Nike to promote his new shoes, he was still uber cool and more than kind as he worked with us to create the September cover of Dime Magazine. Despite having such a long exhausting day, Kevin brought his A game and intensity to the look of the photos...
