The Story Behind the Shot

When I started the hike in Utah's Arches National Park, I was expecting a simple walk. I was wrong. Even on a cool November day, the slickrock incline is relentless, especially when you're lugging a pack full of camera gear. But the reward... it's one of those views that pays you back with interest.

Just as the sun began to set, the entire landscape caught fire. In this vertical composition, I wanted to capture the sheer scale and grandeur of the moment. The rocks absorbed the last rays of light and began to glow from within, bathing the iconic arch in a warm, ethereal light. It was a powerful reminder that the most beautiful moments are often the ones you have to earn – and why these wild places call us to explore them again and again.
