MORNING DEVOTION

“After over a decade working with landscape photography, I have seen some truly incredible scenery, under the most amazing light. One of the experiences that I will never forget, and that is indelible in my mind, is photographing the Grand Canyon at sunrise. After hiking and arriving to the Canyon’s brim in complete darkness, seeing the first light coming and the Canyon’s majestic scale revealing itself from pitch black darkness is such an unique feeling, something I haven’t experienced anywhere else. No matter how many times I relive it, it’s one of those experiences that never lose their power. Finding a compelling composition when photographing the Grand Canyon at sunrise is very challenging. Due to the scale of the scene in front of you, it is very hard to do in the darkness; when the sun starts to appear, you have very little time to organize your compositions before the light becomes too harsh and flat. My familiarity with the location helped me prepare, on this particular morning. After composing, I used the soft, warm and very directional light of the morning to sculpt the Temples and Shrines of the Canyon.” – Vieri
