“With the unfortunate position to speak to art and commerce simultaneously, I will say that blending the two is always a challenge but this one takes the cake for me,” says photographer Ryan Schaude to the Phoblographer in an interview. “It might take a separate thread to discuss the technical and human relations aspects which were vast.” Ryan is quite a unique photographer. Where so much of the photography is done with lots of post-production later on, Ryan shot the lead image and the photo later on in this story all in-camera. They’re not at all composited — and this is a level of production that so many of us should strive for. And it’s all because of who his clients were.
