The other day I was organizing and cleaning my collection of promos and I came across this one from Debra McClinton. In case you didn't know her, Debra was one of the most amazing photographers, EVER!
Debra's beautiful work graced the pages of Yoga Journal on many occasions. I was fortunate to have worked with her on a few shoots, and she always brought so much energy, creativity and excitement. I remember the last shoot we did together, shortly before she died, was one of the craziest shoots I've ever done. We were on a location (a private garden in Marin) that had given us a very limited amount of time to shoot there. We got all set and started shooting and shooting but something was not clicking for her. She wasn't happy with the light, she wasn't happy with the wardrobe, she wanted to remove branches from a tree! I just wanted to get the shot and move on, but she just kept trying and trying. Just as we were about to get kicked out of the place she got these shots that totally captured the moment we had been trying to get all morning. I hate to admit that at first I was very frustrated but when she sent me the files, I was beyond happy! Those last shots really brought the story to life. And that to me was Debra, not happy until she got the perfect shot.
Debra's work was featured in many magazines including RealSimple, Brides, Wired, People, Country Living, Time, Fortune and lots more. One of my favorite projects she did was the RealSimple Weddings magazine. The pictures were just so gorgeous!
Debra may be gone, but her photography lives on. To see more of her beautiful work, and be inspired click here.
Thanks for the sweet post! You captured Debra so well and her work was truly unforgettable.
