Author Photo - Dos Equis: A Russell Quant Mystery #8

Up until this point, all the professional author photos I'd done were shot indoors. Partly this was a timing issue, getting the photos done in winter, which has its downside in terms of photography.

For the eighth Russell Quant book I planned ahead. Every time I'd see the blooming fields of canola that explode around Saskatoon each summer in vast canvases of brilliant yellow, I'd think: I really need to use this natural treasure in an author photo one day. Not only would it make a stunning background, but I thought it was a perfect representative showcase for me as a Saskatchewan author. Not to mention that I am Ukrainian and my blue shirt and yellow canola perfectly match the colours of the flag of Ukraine.
