Dear Forest,
Having spent yesterday scanning a full shoot on the Hargrave by another
photographer I was dismayed to find there was not one shot that turned me on. I
was thinking to myself this is a hard boat to photograph, thank heaven that I had
Forest shoot it.
I found two shots in your presentation that match my image of a cover shot. Having
seen how hard it was to find the perfect angle I can't help but be impressed.
Someone asked me why I was going to have you start shooting aerials of all our
boats and I told them:
"Forest Johnson is the guy that, if you had an ugly daughter, you'd want him to do
the wedding photos!"
Great job. With thanks!
As Publisher of Boating Magazine, we used Forest Johnson for almost two decades for one reason - he's the best photographer in the marine business - monthly, his images appeared on the cover of the World's Largest Powerboat Magazine winning awards and grabbing readers attention. His expertise and experience in marine photography is second to none!
Forest:
Thank you so much for your amazing skill and professionalism this week. I know it was cold for all of us, but you are the
consummate professional!
On a personal note, you know I am new in the boating
marketing industry, from a retail furniture/electronics environment yet you never made me feel less than adequate, and
in fact, made me look great in front of others. I cannot thank you enough for your professionalism and (undeserved)
respect. You are forever my photographer of choice. I am looking forward to many years of excellent shoots together!!
Good Morning Forest:
I just received a copy of the Calendar. The calendar is great but your photography is magnificent! Forest, I truly appreciate the excellent quality of work that you do for us and your dedication to Tiara Yachts. Best Wishes for a prosperous New Year!
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! Considering our lovely light conditions, the high stress wait and see on sunshine, the lack of sunshine, etc. etc, etc. And even with all that to contend with, you still manage to pull out all the plugs. Forest, is it any wonder you're "#1 in my book!" Thanks for doing a great job for us.
