One of the last shots of an afternoon with Jen Phoenix as we chased the setting sun up a hill in southern Arizona. Not long after this photo the sun dipped behind the ridge for the end of the day. I really love the sunset light around the desert there and am a little sad it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to make it out there this year..
Keeping in the desert for another day and going back to the first shoot I did near Phoenix back in 2012 with Jen Phoenix. This was my first time working in the desert. We shot late in the early evening and were perfectly located out there for the wonderful golden light of the setting sun. The timing and location were great. Toward the end of the evening the sun began setting over a ridge and we finished scrambling up a hill across the valley chasing the light as long as we could.
Here is a photo I don’t think I’ve posted before from the shoot from right as the sun started taking on that nice golden glow. Here we were working around a large outcrop of rocks found while heading toward the valley we’d later end up chasing the setting sun along. Love the relaxed pose here, almost enjoying the last light of the day. It’s also a bit more relaxed than many of the more intense artistic poses around it making it stand out a bit.
