In the Dominican Republic:
Dominican Republic-based photographer Roberto Muñoz was recently contacted by the agency CAPA pictures in France to shoot images for VINCI International airports.
VINCI airports manage airports all over the world, including France and the Dominican Republic. The company recently acquired new brands over the years and are excited to continuously expand its global presence. The team was looking to produce new images to use in several communication pieces, so they hired Roberto to shoot photos showcasing the VINCI properties all over the world.
When working on a project involving airports, security is, of course, a challenge. Having to coordinate with the Dominican Republic Government agencies was challenging to do, along with getting permits to use the facilities in the way Roberto needed, created some hurdles. For example, some of the shots Roberto wanted to capture required to be done using a drone. Getting permits to fly a drone inside of an airport was not easy.
After the group received all the necessary permits and got everything planned, they were ready to shoot. Unfortunately, these were not the only challenges Roberto faced during this project.
We had to literally run from the ramps to, immigration, to the luggage area and to the tarmac several times to catch specific kind of passenger and model of aircraft.
Carrying a lot of gear, not having much time, and having the shoot be spread out over the airport required Roberto to work quickly on his feet on location. This made for an interesting and exciting experience for everyone involved.
Despite some of the difficulties and challenges that Roberto faced during this project, he enjoyed having unrestricted access to all the airports they shot in. Also, the client was pleased with how the images turned out, so overall it was a success!

In Panama:
After Panama based photographer Pierre Rios’ production company, Demencia created motion content for Subaru, the team was very pleased with the outcome. Later, the agency hired Pierre to shoot stills for the popular car company as promotional pieces highlighting the garage services Subaru offers.
The goal of the project was to create images to be used for online communications and for print that would be displayed on a large scale outside the Subaru garage in Los Angeles.
During the preproduction portion of the project, Pierre worked with INDEPENDIENTE, the ad agency that works with Subaru. The client was straightforward with communicating their needs. Pierre came up with ideas based on these requirements and presented them with references and, additionally, gave the team his vision for each idea he had. Both Pierre and the agency collaborated to come up with the final shot list and had a plan on how to execute the process.
Doing a great preproduction makes everything easier on the day of the shoot.
Everything went smoothly, the client was on set with Pierre and was available to help make decisions when needed. Subaru was open to suggestions, but overall the team allowed Pierre to have creative freedom and let him run with his ideas and present his work in his style.
The images came out great, and the client was happy with the final product. Pierre plans on focusing his time towards his production company and hopes to have more projects like this in the future.

In Texas:
When creative directors Andres Tascon and Tony Daniel were interested in creating a men’s fashion lookbook, they reached out to Dallas based photographer Andrew Klein to shoot the images.
The artists collaborated on an idea to shoot male models wearing suits and sports lux wear in the desert in Ruidosa, Texas. Being so close to the border of Mexico, it made for an interesting experience when shooting on location.
Border patrol pulled us over a total of five times throughout our two-day stay and interrupted our shoot one day by bringing a canine to set to smell and search us. The undercover officers were friendly when we told them we were here shooting men’s fashion.
Andrew and the creatives spent the night in a solar panel house in Marfa, Texas. It was a neat place to stay and was featured in Architectural Digest Magazine, but it caused some bumps during the project. Finding electricity in the morning at a solar house was next to impossible since they did not power up until close to 10 am. They needed coffee to work, and hair and makeup required electricity for blow dryers.
Regardless of the conditions, they carried on with the shoot. Collaborating on a project with so many creative individuals, the images came out great.
