Hours of driving the day before and little sleep to match, we were on our way. It was 2am when we started our trek. The darkness of the night swallowed our light like an unforgiving black hole. 3 miles through untamed wilderness until we reached our destination. Anticipation coursed through our veins as anxiety lingered in the dark. The goal was to get there before sunrise and shoot some astro, but an unfortunate break in the path brought us a half a mile off course.
The peaking sunlight beyond the horizon pierced through the blackened air providing us the ability to correctly navigate back on course. As we made our final ascent up the trail, the moment we had all been waiting for was about to arrive. The patterns in the rocks danced all around us as if music itself was personified into the walls. We had the place to ourselves for quite some time and spent hours shooting and exploring every place we could. As we were leaving, I looked back one last time to say my farewells and saw this scene. I knew I had to capture this moment, this emotion, this feeling. I put my bag down and pulled out my gear. This moment was everything we had experienced put into one single image. This moment was the story of our trip. This was a reflection of time.
For someone who hated nature growing up, you could say that the world sat under a veil of shadows for me. Once I was fully exposed to the amazing beauty of our natural planet, I was addicted and photography became a way for me to really showcase just how lucky we are to live here. Using Bierstadt and Kinkade as my inspiration, I grew a style that really focused on the daily battle of light and dark and the many colors the light would reveal.
For this project, my goal was simple: how to take my story and my style and merge it into one collection? I wanted to really show how the once darkened world I knew was finally exposed to the vibrant and colorful natural world that I had missed all those years. The revealing light symbolizes growth and appreciation from the darkness of a younger and more naive mindset. Absolute beauty comes from the masterful blend between light and dark and this collection was made to embody the emotion of that dance and really showcase the vibrance of our planet.
