Behind the Image

Every photograph has a story.

Behind the Image goes beyond the finished photograph to share the experiences, planning, unexpected moments, and inspiration that happened on the other side of the camera.

From quiet mornings along Lake Tahoe to nights beneath the Milky Way in the Nevada desert, these are the stories behind some of my favorite photographs, where I went, what drew me there, what I hoped to capture, and what unfolded when I arrived.

Along the way, I'll share behind-the-scenes photographs, alternate images, and some of the details of how each photograph came together. More importantly, I hope these stories offer a glimpse into why these places and moments mean something to me, my gratitude for being able to experience them, and how they became the finished artwork you see today.
