I was contacted by a producer at National Geographic because they wanted to film me shooting as part of a television special&#8230; as it happens it was a studio portrait session they wanted to tape for a scene featuring one of the subjects of the program .  Dave, seen below, is an actor\/model here in the city, and they wanted to show him doing his thing&#8211; so was I up for it?  Hell yes.  Here are a few sneak preview images from the shoot, and a few behind the scenes shots my assistant took while we were in the studio&#8211; the place was so full of equipment (the film crew&#8217;s and mine) and people, it was way crazier than I expected&#8230; not sure what I thought they&#8217;d be shooting on but I had no idea how large those broadcast HD cameras were&#8211; and somehow this DP was able to shoot handheld for hours.   Perhaps needless to say I was a little nervous about having my shoot documented and edited for TV, but when National Geographic calls, you do not say no, am I right?  I&#8217;ll post again when I know the date\/time program will air so you can tune in and watch for my minute of fame&#8230; Sounds like not for a while as they are still in the middle of production on it.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-548\" title=\"051_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2\" src=\"http:\/\/tew6223.c3.cmdwebsites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/051_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2.jpg\" alt=\"051_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/051_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/051_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-549\" title=\"163_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2\" src=\"http:\/\/tew6223.c3.cmdwebsites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/163_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2.jpg\" alt=\"163_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/163_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/163_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-550\" title=\"031_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2\" src=\"http:\/\/tew6223.c3.cmdwebsites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/031_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2.jpg\" alt=\"031_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/031_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/031_davenatgeo_sarahtewphotography-2-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Behind the scenes shots below taken by Jeff Zorabedian<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-554\" title=\"natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-4\" src=\"http:\/\/tew6223.c3.cmdwebsites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-4.jpg\" alt=\"natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-4\" width=\"420\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-4-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-551\" title=\"natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-2\" src=\"http:\/\/tew6223.c3.cmdwebsites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-2\" width=\"420\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-552\" title=\"natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-3\" src=\"http:\/\/tew6223.c3.cmdwebsites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-3.jpg\" alt=\"natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-3\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-3.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/natgeobehindscenessarahtewshoot-1-3-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>it was tough acting natural and &#8216;just shooting&#8217; when i could actually see the camera they were filming me with in my own viewfinder&#8230; at least when the crew was off to the side i could try to forget what was going on and concentrate on getting my shots as usual!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend I had a wonderful opportunity.
