Hi friends, Megan here - I'm Chase's primary on-staff producer. We just wrapped up a commercial shoot for a major sporting goods company and it required a monster amount of production.

Images of Olympic titans will be plentiful and I am looking forward to both the photography and the drama of country-vs-country competition. I've had the pleasure of working with many world-class athletes as subjects...

No one even knows the surrounding scenery exists. Forced Perspective photography is intriguing: it manipulates human perception with things like size, positioning and scale.

One image can be so powerful - able to elicit strong emotions and social awareness in an instant.
