Peony Tree's

This morning I had a shoot for "Dig" Magazine of these two guys, who are peony tree growers. The shoot is for an article about the trees and their business. The father (in the foreground) is a well respected peony tree grower and his son (background) now runs the business. This shoot was supposed to take place at the Portland Japanese Garden, but when we arrived at the location, they only had 2 really sad looking trees that would not show in a photo at all, so as a last ditch effort, we went to the Chinese Garden, hoping someone would be there and let us in to shoot. No one was, but luckily out front was a large good looking Peony tree (in between the two of them) that would work for the photo. Its not the best portrait in the world, but it will work.
