Here are some of my behind the scenes photos from my personal camera, taken from the Sports Illustrated 2004 shoot in Iowa. This was one of my favorite shoots, because it was different than the usual beach/bikini shoot. I also love that SI did an issue with all the locations in the US. Iowa had some amazing sunrises and sunsets. Who knew?!










This was one of my fave ( if not the most fave!) SI photoshoot too – gorgeous light, lovely surroundings and the best model
Thank you, Marisa.
how could I forget. that was how I first got to know you, Marisa! I remember it, too. there I was watching TV and a commercial for the SI special comes up. first thing I see–this unbelievably gorgeous woman standing naked on a barn door. jaw dropping to say the least!! don’t suppose you have any more extra pics of this shoot, huh?
you done hundreds of beautiful shoots since, but SI in 2004 is STILL your best ever in my opinion
I JUST found this site, blog and everything that is Marissa Miller! These images, along with everything else she has done, has pushed me (as a commercial photographer)To do better!
the pic with you on the blanket is my favorite. Everything from the way you look, to your pose, to the scenery is beautiful.
Man, this blog is super hot! Thanks Marisa for setting it up, love the access here to the new pictures and everything. And the Iowa pictures of you are so amazingly beautiful! Keep’em Coming.
I enjoy the behind the scenes photo. Having a previous ad career I always knew what went on beyond the crop of the lens. Photo one in intriguing for a couple of reasons. I like how the tripod is leveled with the cooler but what I really want to know is the conversation between the two “apparent” farmers in the upper left. They may be with the staff but they are out of the way enough to be the locals. This shoot location probably still makes for good “barn talk.”
