After getting back into the swing of things I was given the assignment to go out and shoot for our next few magazine covers which was not as easy as you might think. For the first cover idea, I had to go around and research all of the apartments and hotels that had roof-top pools. You would be surprised on how many roof-top pools there actually are. After finding a few places online, I then had to call the places and ask them if I could get access to their place. Every single one of them and I mean everyone said no before I finished my sentence. It wasn't until I mentioned that I was with D Magazine that they agreed to give me access. The shots were all about the same but with different views of the skyline. I wanted to shoot at night so I could get a long exposure to cloud the water up a bit and get the lights to star in the background. I made a system that since I got access to five places I would spend a evening at each one. The picture above was one of my favorites and the overall experience was great because I got to spend some time looking at apartments that I wanted to live in after I graduated.
