return of the storm

The Storm is back! and with some new talent and new owners. Local, female owners. Gotta love it.

Our plan for the Storm special section was to photograph the 3 main players together. This was to take place the day before the cover was suppose to run.

So our photographer headed out early to set-up since we knew they wouldn't give us a lot of time. He got there early, set up and was able to catch the end of a photo shoot for internal video ads. You know, the kind they play on the jumbotron during time-outs. (See below picture with smoke)

We debated about what was a better picture. The one we originally planned on going with or the smoke shot. We decided to go with our original plan, mostly because our picture was a lot more in your face and carried more impact. I didn't like the far away feel of the smoke shot. Also, while this wasn't part of their shoot, our competition in town, the P-I, was using smoke too.
I like the way the package feels with the picture we used. It worked well with the story too.
