PACIFIC NORTHWEST

I spent around a week capturing the forests of the Pacific Northwest in the fall of 2023. Forests are complex. chaotic environments in which to find clean photographic compositions, but incredibly rewarding, and really special places to spend time.

Redwoods
It’s almost impossible to show the scale of the massive Redwood trees of northern California. When the mist and light combine though, the place is absolutely magical

The Forest
Creating balanced compositions in the chaos of the redwood forest proved to be incredibly challanging
