"Drive-by Shooting" Coming to Hill City

POSTED: FEB 08, 2008

“DRIVE-BY SHOOTING” COMING TO HILL CITYAkiabara, Tokyo

HILL CITY, SD – Rodger Slott has been shooting award-winning photographs for commercial clients since 1987. Only recently has he been getting perspective on all those images, and is set to unveil his first exhibit on Feb. 23, 2008, at Prairie Berry Winery.

The exhibit name, “Drive-by Shooting” comes from Slott’s ongoing challenge as a commercial photographer sent on location: there’s never enough time to capture everything he wants, in addition to what the client needs. This exhibit is made up largely of images from those “stolen moments” between items on the shot list when on trips to Cambodia, Japan and various locations around the United States.

Slott, an air force kid born in Scotland, raised in Rapid City and graduated in photojournalism from Black Hills State University, went on to train in Dallas, TX, for eight years under the tutelage of some of the biggest names in commercial photography. While there, he created images for clients such as 7-Up/Dr. Pepper, Aetna and Anheuser-Busch. He returned to the Black Hills in 1992 at the behest of local advertising agencies happy to find an experienced commercial shooter with his expertise in lighting.

Today, Slott shoots, as Flashbox Photography, working with regional advertising agencies, architectural firms and corporations. He is headquartered out of his home studio-office in Rapid City

“Drive-by Shooting” is sponsored in part by Prairie Berry Winery, Black Hills Corporation, Security First Bank and the Black Hills Eye Institute. It will be showing at Prairie Berry Winery, 23837 Hwy 385, Hill City, as their first fine art exhibit from Feb. 23 through May 11, 2008, and is open free to the public 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday – Saturday and noon – 4 p.m. on Sunday.
