Behind the Scenes of Our Cover Shoot with Ali Truwit

Photographs by VENERA ALEXANDROVA

Scheduling this issue’s cover story was a challenge, but worth every second of the juggling needed to make it happen. The shoot took place on a Thursday evening in July following a long stretch of stormy weather. The weather needed to cooperate, as our cover star was leaving for Paralympic training soon after the shoot. Lucky for us, the sun came out, and photographer Katharine Calderwood’s vision came to fruition. After capturing portraits of Ali on the pier, Katharine jumped into the pool for the incredible underwater action shots. The gorgeous sunset at the end of the evening capped off a perfect day.
