red rock canyon desert, las vegas {bret cole photography}

At this year’s WPPI Las Vegas photo conference, a few of us did a photo shoot out in Red Rock Canyon Desert. It was a great crew! The amazing Corey Fox of Corey Fox Photography is a performer in Cirque du Soleil and he brought out a few of his people to model for us. These girls are seriously incredible! It was a rad experience to photograph such talented performance artists and in such a contrasting environment to Tahoe. I loved it!!!

Hayley (the blond) is an acrobat in Cirque du Soleil. Leah (the brunet), a trapeze artist, is presently in Absinthe. And Claire (the redhead) is a water beauty in La Rue at Wynn. Although I assumed I wouldn’t be heading back to Vegas until next year’s conference, I am already secretly planning a return to see them in action and take more photos.

Jodi McDonald - WOW – love every single image. Great subjects to shoot but your work is stunning – great light. Seriously gorgeous.

Kirstie Frydenlund - This shoot is amazing!! what gorgeous light, and stunning location!!
