Nicole Vaunt and Amber Rose McConnell at Sequoia National Park
🕑 Added 2016-07-06 23:17:28 +0000 UTC When I first started traveling and focusing on landscapes the Sequoia and Redwood trees where the most frustrating things I would come across photographically. Putting their enormous size into scale seemed impossible.Then I started focusing on incorporating nude in the landscape and everything has started to come together. This trip with Amber and Nicole we stopped for a day in Sequoia National Park, and on our hikes we found a few beautiful spots to shoot. The trees themselves are magical, they create beautiful soft light to shoot in, and the human figure puts their size into perspective.
On our hike we found this amazing tree that had had a tunnel burned through it in a forest fire, and I knew we had to create an image inside of it. This amazing living tree so ravaged by nature, but still going. Amber posed amazingly in the slim hole back lit by the bright early afternoon sun.
I can't stop staring at these photos. Even though we didn't have a lot of time. I'm so glad we drove the 6 hours to shoot for the day.
On our way down from the mountains where the trees grow. We stopped at a trail head that no other car was at. I couldn't figure out why nobody was there, so we stopped and hiked up to some beautiful waterfalls with huge granite boulders. I loved how Amber's reflection looked in the water, so we waited for some clouds to pass overhead and then shot quickly in the soft light.
In the same area Nicole and I created an amazing image with the mossy granite and vines. We shoot so often that I'm continually amazed by the new poses she manages to create for our work.
These were all shot with my canon 17-40mm F4 lens.
