FLOATING ISLANDS
This project took place when I went on a landscape photography trip to Death Valley, California. I was focusing on using the perspective of the landscapes to inform the floating figures as islands in the sky.
Process
This project was meant to highlight the beautiful landscapes of Death Valley, CA while also bringing the viewer to attempt to make sense of the object in the sky. I used rocks I found on the ground to create these islands in the sky. I would practice throwing rocks, in the same way, so I would be able to manually focus the lens to the spot. This gave me the ability to have the camera prefocused on the islands. This resulted in a beautiful product of capturing a moment in time. These images were solely edited using Adobe Lightroom.
