Way back in July I was hired by Politico, a well known political news magazine (it has both an online and printed presence), to exercise my Montana photojournalist background, and make images for them for an upcoming article they were working on about Montana’s newly designated 2nd congressional district (and the seat it opens up). My specific assignment was to cover a fundraising event held by the only Republican challenger of Ryan Zinke, as well as to document some of Zinke’s properties in Whitefish. Fast forward to today, and I’m happy to say the article is live (as of right now, it’s the cover story on Politico).

It was such an interesting assignment, and I’ve shared a few tearsheets from the article, as well as some outtakes that didn’t make it into the story. One of the great things about working as a photojournalist is that you really learn so much about what you’re documenting. And it’s always intriguing to hear so many different sides of a story. The reporter, Miranda Green, did stellar work (and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Politico’s director of photography, M. Scott Mahaskey), so definitely check out Politico’s entire story. Well worth the read, especially if you’re a Montanan! (And even if you’re not, too.)

On to the tearsheets and photos:
