One of the largest freshwater lakes in Iceland...the water was as clear as the air above.

When you are with a group of friends that create an energy of excitement and joy.

Self Quarantined...and had to get creative!

Looking to an untouchable future in Big Sur. Every day was magical here.

Saw this coffee shop and had her run inside. Everything just came together beautifully for this photo.

The raw power of this waterfall could be felt just from looking at it. Iceland is an incredible country.

This was shot in a small rural coastal town in Georgia.

3 guys coming back from working the inter-coastal waters all day.

We were at a magical location when out of the blue it started snowing on us. This photo was taken with a full manual 50mm lens. I am so lucky I was ab

A magical morning gave me this image in Iceland. First real morning on the road, and I captured one of my favorite images from the whole trip.

Behind The Lens

Location

Mammoth Creek Utah.

Time

This was taken just before the sunset for the day. It was amazingly peaceful with the water running over the rocks, and I waded into the water to get this shot.

Lighting

The lighting coming through the break in the trees made this shot. It gave the water such a beautiful look with the reflection of the sunset.

Equipment

This was shot on Sony A7rii, 16-35mm, and on a Tripod.

Inspiration

This was the first trip I took specifically for photography. When I captured this I knew it was one of my favorite captures and still is to this day. Its the only photograph that I have printed of my own work. I love capturing the movement of water and I waded out into the freezing water to capture this. I would have to hold one foot out of the water alternating them because it was soo cold. We were setting up the tent for the night and I wasn't done being inspired by my location. So I waded out into the water and was able to capture this at a campground.

Editing

I just did some color adjustments to this. Everything else is basically straight out of the camera.

In my camera bag

You name it....I would rather walk around with 40lbs on my back than miss something I need. So I bring everything everywhere. I walked 15 miles in NYC with DJI Ronin/Drone/6 Lenses/ 2 Camera Bodies and batteries for it all. I used everything except the drone. So I am always prepared for anything that comes my way.

Feedback

It doesn't matter where you are just capture everything. I suffered really cold water for 10-15 minutes trying to get this long exposure shot right. Sometimes art hurts but just be smart and listen to your inner creative. It can lead to some amazing stuff!
