Scale in landscape photography is often more complicated than it appears. In this blog, I explore the different ways photographers use people within a scene, sometimes to reveal the immense size of a landscape, and other times to intentionally confuse the viewer’s sense of proportion using the same visual tricks seen in Hollywood films.

A delayed departure, white-knuckled wildlife encounters, scorching Badlands heat, lost map pins, and a midnight hike beneath alien-looking skies. This landscape photography trip was far from glamorous, but somewhere between exhaustion, wandering, and waiting for the Milky Way above the Alien Throne, the adventure became far more memorable than the photographs themselves.

Join us as we travel to Wyoming and the Grand Teton National Park, to the deserts of Utah, and back through Colorado taking autumn images along the way.

Come along on my Fall Colors 2022 Roadtrip!

Ever been on a photo shoot and feel as if you missed out on a shot only to return weeks later in an effort to get the shot you “missed” before. Well, that sums up this trip quite well. On this trip, I shoot a sunrise in the Windows Area, a daytime shot at Corona and a couple of night images at Delicate Arch.

Join me on a Summer hike into Lake Mitchell and on to Blue Lake in the Roosevelt National Forest.
