Behind the Scenes of a Harlequin Cover Shoot
By Margie Miller, Creative Director, Single Titles
Women fall in love with them. Men want to be them. Everybody loves a cowboy.
The ultimate strong silent type—fearless, honest and hard working. They’re never afraid to roll up their sleeves and jump in when a crisis hits. They’re tough to pin down, but once you do, you have a friend and partner for life. They are an American icon, the epitome of what it means to be an honorable man, and as Linda Lael Miller puts it. They are “the equivalent of the British Knight”.
Last June, on a ranch outside of Los Angeles, and together with a team that included a photographer and his assistants, a wardrobe stylist, an animal trainer, and other really helpful people from the ranch, we began the task of bringing Tate, Garret and Austin McKettrick to life for the covers of the new, upcoming Linda Lael Miller books. This year, we added film to the mix, in order to provide the readers with an added glimpse into these characters. John Logsdon of Blind Vision Films came on board to join in a really long and exceptionally fun day of shooting.
I hope you enjoy watching and reading about these three cowboys as much as I did bringing them to life!
