Shooting Challenges: SECURITY/TIMING/SCALE - There was a significant amount of pre-shoot planning, paperwork, and vetting that needed to be done before we even arrived on site. When it finally came time for the shoot, getting through the special vendor security was quite the process. Additionally, since Hartsfield Jackson is one of the busiest airports in the world, we were only allowed to shoot from 1am - 2pm which meant we needed a LOT of coffee. Once the shoot began, we had to adhere to a strict schedule of natural sun positioning in addition to shops and flight schedules to avoid the most people. I’m pretty sure we walked about 7 miles that day, all whist pushing a cart full of gear. It was an exhausting shoot but at the end of the day it was just plane fun! ;)
