Someone asked me recently have I ever thought about just switching to digital backdrops or AI for our photoshoots. You know using generated, smoke, lights, scenes, fire etc.. Would it be easier? Yes. Would it save money? Yes. Will we ever do it? Absolutely not! We want to do more than just take great photos of the athletes and others that our in front of our lenses. We want to create an experience and have our clients leaving saying how much fun they had. It's so important to us that the "magic" happens in front of them rather than hours later when they are not around in Photoshop. We love showing them the back of our cameras immediately after taking a photo and they can already see the look. From smoke machines, to snow machines, to bubbles, to all kinds of light configurations, we love to create lasting photos and memories at the same time. We even brought in who knows how many pounds of dirt to create an artificial dirt track for a competitive dirt bike racer. All of us that work with Next Stage Media have competed and know what goes into the work our clients do for their sport or activity. We want to make sure we put in the work on our end for them as well. Here's to the memories created and way more fun coming!
