Photography, 2024

Salt Flats

Twelve days on a dry lake bed at the edge of a season, photographed at first and last light.

Client: Self-initiated series
Role: Photography and edit
Year: 2024

Tire tracks curving across the white salt crust below a bare desert peak

Brief

No client, no brief but a rule: one location, one lens, twelve days, and nothing added in the edit that was not on the ground.

Approach

We walked out before dawn with a single 50 mm lens and a tripod, and shot in the first and last forty minutes of light, and once through a whole night with the shutter open. Frames were chosen on a wall of contact prints, not on a screen, and the edit was cut from four hundred frames to twenty.

Star trails over the dry lake at night, the horizon lit by distant towns

Outcome

A set of twenty pictures, printed as a folded book and shown as a wall of sixteen.
