A few months ago, Running Times contacted me to shoot Adriana Pirtea for the cover of their Green Issue. The concept was to capture Adriana’s powerful stride and the natural beauty of Horsetooth Reservoir, Co (her local training ground). I was in Chile at the time and the shoot was scheduled for the day I was to return to Colorado. We handled all the preproduction via email and had everything lined up for my arrival. Adriana was the runner up in the Chicago Marathon in 2007 and has logged marathon times as fast as 2:28! She lives and trains in Ft. Collins, Colorado. Despite running a 30k training run the day before the shoot, Adriana’s energy and enthusiasm made for an awesome shoot! Check out the cover bellow, currently on newsstands! Adriana is currently in Chicago for the Chicago Marathon. Good luck Adriana!!!
UPDATE: Adriana finished 12th at the 08 Chicago Marathon last week!

Nice picture. She was actually second at Chicago, not Boston in 2007.
