I was excited to collaborate with my friend, womenswear designer Catherine Gee, knowing that her designs have the lines and silhouettes to complement the painterly quality of my landscape photos. Celebrating a place is such a specific and important experience in life and a practice in art making. It is the reason why I create landscape photography - paying respect to the beauty of our natural world with the ultimate goal of protecting it. Surrounding myself with landscapes helps me ground my practice in the truth that nature is the ultimate artist that we should all be learning from. This image of a sunset beach gathering stood out to us in my portfolio, because of the celebratory aspect of it, beach fires flickering between dinner tables and the divine soundtrack of evening conversations, music, and the waves greeting the beach.
