Cade Martin, the award-winning photographer behind Capitol Communicator’s “up close and personal” profiles, told us that he’s been looking at his cutting room floor. He told us: “I wouldn’t grow and learn and push as a photographer without it.

“So much of the creative, collaborative work we do is represented by what doesn’t end up as the final image or images for any given shoot.  I love working with Warren Ellis and the Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation – Maryland, and making this portrait of Honest Tea CEO, Seth Goldman, was a treat. Exploring his connection to Montgomery County, where Honest Tea is located, we ended up with a great image. This outtake looking up at me from that cutting room floor, reminds me of the joy of the process arriving there.

“The journey is vital to the destination.”
