"Dana Cain is surrounded by just some of the sizable pop-culture art collection at her home in Littleton, Monday, Oct. 11, 2010. Cain, who graduated from the University of Denver in 1981, is the founder of the Denver Modernism Show and has hosted more than 150 events in the Denver area since 1983."
Sometimes you walk into a location and wonder how you're going to make a picture with plain white walls as far as the eyes can see. This was clearly not one of those cases.
I photographed Dana back in October for University of Denver Magazine and the story finally ran in the latest issue that came out this week.
There was a lot to work with at her home, almost too much. It took me a few minutes to take in her massive collection of pop-culture art and in a sense it was difficult to determine what would be a great backdrop while not overpowering Dana. After all, the story was about her and her achievements, not the art. I knew that I wanted to work her green AstroTurf carpet in there somehow because really, how often do you come across that?
As a fellow creative, Dana was a pleasure to chat and work with. We actually spent so much time talking during the end of the shoot that she nearly forgot about an appointment that evening.
Dana even loved a few of the images so much that they will be making an appearance on her website soon.
