Dana Gallagher captures a magical winter scene for the cover of Martha Stewart Living. The December issue features ideas for holiday menus, treats, and decorating. Gallagher photographed a brightly lit tree in a nighttime snowscape for the newsstand cover. The iPad version of the cover features a time-lapse of the lighting of the tree.

Gallagher shot the cover near Cabot, Vermont last April. There was still four feet of snow on the ground and very low temperatures at night making for a difficult and often harsh shoot.  However, Gallagher admits the beauty of the snow often made up for the cold weather. The shoots were time-specific so Gallagher was shooting both late at night and early in the morning. She says of the shoot, “It was beautiful seeing the clouds move in the frames at dusk as we shot.”

The December issue of Martha Stewart Living is on newsstands now.

Dana Gallagher photographs fresh takes on gingham for the October issue of Martha Stewart Living. The six-page spread features 11 cool projects for updating gingham in a more sophisticated way at home.

Gallagher shot the story both in studio and on location.  The location shoot was at the home of designer Tricia Foley in Bellport, Long Island. The weather that day was very rainy and dark and provided a unique set of challenges in how to light the shoot. Gallagher says, “we had a great crew and we were in sync and it went incredibly smoothly.” The studio shoot was at Canoe in New York City.

The July issue of Martha Stewart Living is entitled “Amazing America,” dedicated to celebrating all 50 states. The 200th issue features California peaches, a Pennsylvania garden, and signature corn recipes from different states. Dana Gallagher photographed “States of Play,” an ode to the road-tripping days of the mid-20th century when state map textiles were popular souvenirs. Now collectibles, Gallagher and Martha Stewart Living show how the scarves, tablecloths, and handkerchiefs can add cheer to a home.

Gallagher shot the story at Breezy Shores, a cottage community on the North Fork of Long Island. For Gallagher, it was a return home to a place that she had rented years ago from the original owners. The shoot took place in early spring at the waterfront property. Recalls Gallagher, “A fantastic crew came together and we kept each other warm (no heat out there and it was March) with loads of layers and a small fire!”
