These images were shot at Death Valley, White Sands and Oceano Dunes in California. Normally I hike for hours at a time in order to find the right angle and light to capture the detail I am looking for. I shoot in the morning in order to capture the shadows, textures and curves of the sand dunes. There is just simple beauty in how the wind and shadows create art within the sand. I am always trying to make the shadows and shapes the hero of these images. By positioning myself behind the sun while using a polarizing filter, I was able to achieve a dark sky.
