Runner’s World Streak

Once eccentric sports scientist Brent Ruby mentioned in passing that he’d posed nude on a previous shoot it was only a matter of time before I got him undressed for my camera. 

Ultimately this is one of my favorite kinds of assignments – being sent me out to spend a few days with a keen and willing subject with the marching orders of “bring me back some weird ‘Chris Buck pictures.’” I’m pleased to see Runners’ World’s June issue featuring six pictures from our shoot. Thank you Michele Ervin!

Top Two Images: Brent Ruby and his dog Wrango take in the great outdoors of Missoula, MT. Behind-the-scenes photo by great local assistant Joe Danzer.

Bottom Image: Inspired by Dr. Ruby’s fieldwork with runners we built an epic vista shot. This was composited from over 20 frames. Much appreciation to the University of Montana Cross Country Team!
