Laura + Dry Lake Bed, Southern California, 2019


Last week Laura asked me to scan one of her color images, and I was glad that she did. We exposed one color roll towards the end of our session when almost all of the tones matched, with the exception of the sky which was the exact opposite in color. The location was magical and Laura sacrificed tremendously to make it happen. To have this image as proof of our time together on that dry lake is the gift of photography!

Laura + Dry Lake Bed, California, 2019


 This frame with Laura represents to me the very best of photography. The obstacles in the way of our collaboration could have prevented this image from being exposed, but Laura persevered and the resulting images are, to me, priceless. 

We connected online and made plans to meet in between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. To have someone willing to do so and in this most remote of spaces is incredible. I am privileged to have met this young woman, and to have had the chance to document her unmatched talents. The fact that she brought her wardrobe along, giving us so many choices, made these images that much more beautiful.

Note: this frame was exposed with a Hasselblad V system.
