Smash and grab theft is a serious issue and the golf industry has been hit particularly hard. In order to shine a light on the problem, Golf Digest Magazine commissioned Mark Peterman to help tell the story. The assignment enabled him to incorporate the use of scale models which he has been utilizing in a personal series he calls Constructed Realities. The photo editor had seen the project develop over the years and specifically requested him to recreate something similar to match the subject matter of this story.
He carried out the assignment in a similar fashion in the way in which he creates scenes for his personal work: sketching out initial ideas, constructing scale models, then photographing the scenes in studio with added elements of fog and the use of cinematic lighting. Go to Mark’s site to see how the project developed, and be sure to watch his promotional video about the project.
