Winter Light, Deer Creek — Six weeks of sittings on the creek path, all of it shot in the ninety minutes before the canyon loses the sun. Cold hands, long exposures, no reflector.

The creek runs west, so the light arrives sideways and leaves fast. Every sitter was asked to stand still for a second and a half.
