I've mentioned before how long the days can be on a working ranch—up before dawn and often finishing long after the sun has gone down. Especially in the summer, those days stretch even longer.
A Quiet Moment Before the Day Begins
This image was taken at sunrise, a quiet moment before the bustle of the day really kicked in. Two ranch hands stood talking in the corral, the early light just beginning to shape the day—and their silhouettes. I was drawn to the soft glow of the golden light that outlined them so perfectly.
Technical Approach: Isolating Human Connection
I used a long lens to isolate their forms from the hazy, gently lit background. That shallow depth of field draws your eye right to the human connection in the frame. She's mid-sentence, you can tell by the tilt of her head. He's listening, I hope—because if he's smart, he'll want to hear every word.
Visual Storytelling in Stillness
This was one of those fleeting, quiet moments that feels timeless—a visual story told in stillness.
