I used an obviously Latina woman draped in an American flag to symbolize the issue's cover story about immigration. Hiring Miami photographer, Dirk Franke, we shot the model in a white dress with a sheet pinned to her side for the billowing fabric. Then we took many shots of an American flag blown by fans for reference. My amazing retoucher, Josh Clark and I went back and forth many times to make the flag as realistic as possible. All the hard work was worth it every time we were asked where we ever found that flag dress.
