Exterior Resort Photography

RESORT: Radisson Fort McDowell Resort

LOCATION: Scottsdale, Arizona

SUBJECT: Dusk Exterior

A serene dusk exterior in the warm desert air. Or so it would seem. Actually, this hotel exterior was one of the more challenging we've ever photographed. It's a great landscape with nice architecture and color palate. So why the difficulty, you ask? We had to capture this image the same time the hotel concert venue was hosting a sold-out Ziggy Marley performance.

This image was created very carefully, blending more than 70 images into a single final image. In nearly each individual exposure, there were hundreds of people walking through the image. The cars, motorcycles, and other visual clutter were disposed of through the blending process into this single photo. Special thanks to the valet crew that kept those cars moving so we could capture enough stills before the sun had set completely!
