These images were made during a trip to New Mexico with Dan Leffel & Inge Johnsson. I have posed for them in many stunning landscapes all over the U.S. This was a fun week spent driving and hiking many miles all over New Mexico, shooting in some of the most surreal locations I've ever seen. Some cold mornings and hot afternoons, but definitely worth it.
Also... I ate the best trés leches cake I've ever tasted on this trip. After shooting, Dan brought me with him to Santa Fe for my first time. We spent the entire day walking from gallery to gallery, and I was incredibly inspired and overwhelmed by the colors and the drama. We finished the day with gelato, and then he drove me to the airport.
This bonus set includes some dramatic close ups and even some funny outtakes... including a photo of me taking a photo of the sunset with my phone at the end of a shoot. It was during this moment that I learned from Dan that I had an HDR setting on my iPhone4!!! Game changer. Thanks, Dan! ;)
