Part of what I love about my job is getting the opportunity to travel. Over the summer I was given the opportunity to go shoot in the Mojave Desert in California. I spent the day driving out there with two other photographers and we climbed down in Lava Tubes into what felt like a different world. This experience was nothing short of magical even though I was hit in the head by a few bats. Shooting outside of my comfort zone always inspires me to be a better photographer. This session helped me grow so much and learn more about myself and put more of myself and my emotions into my work. I hope you enjoy this series I have titled “lost” It’s the idea of a girl that wondered out into the desert and ended up in a cave lost for a long time before finally making her way out.
