Technical Approach

Medium format digital capture provides exceptional image quality for contemporary landscape work. Larger sensors record more detail and wider dynamic range than full-frame cameras, approaching the quality of traditional large format film. The workflow combines the precision of digital capture with the image quality that demanding prints require.

Location & Subject

The Sonoran Desert and Colorado Plateau create one of Earth's most photographically diverse regions. Ancient geological forces carved slot canyons, towering buttes, and vast desert expanses that shift color throughout the day. From the iconic silhouettes of Monument Valley to the intricate sandstone formations of Vermilion Cliffs, Arizona offers landscape photographers endless opportunities to capture the raw beauty of the American Southwest. Desert landscapes reward photographers who understand the extremes of this environment. The absence of atmospheric moisture creates exceptional clarity and vibrant color saturation, particularly during golden hour. Heat creates convection currents requiring careful timing, while dramatic temperature swings between day and night generate unique weather patterns. Desert subjects—from weathered joshua trees to abstract dune formations—benefit from the clean, directional light these environments provide.
