Chasing the stars is never easy, but it’s always worth it. ✨ We drove 10 hours to reach the incredible dark skies of Joshua Tree National Park, and the Milky Way did not disappoint. Spent the first night shooting until 3 AM around iconic spots like Arch Rock, Heart Rock and Joshua tree with my photography friends. I was completely exhausted by the end of it, but standing under that glowing galactic core makes every single sleepless hour fade away.
To bring out the absolute best detail and keep the noise down, these images are tracked, stacked, and blended. Lots of work in the field and behind the screen, but I love how they turned out! 🌌📸

Not your average night in the desert. 🌌🏜️

I spent the last week pulling detail out of two recently-captured raw files, bringing to life the incredible cosmic drama above the California desert. These locations couldn’t have different vibes.
Slide 1: The alien towers of Trona Pinnacles, where 100-foot spires meet the ancient light of the cosmos.
Slide 2: The sailing stones of Racetrack Playa, caught under the brightest part of the Milky Way core.
These are my final edits, but I’m torn. For me, it’s all about the edit and the process.
I want to know which one lands for you: The Trona Spire (1) or the Racetrack Stone (2)?

Two ways to look at Trona Pinnacles. Which perspective draws you in more? 👇

Is it the immersive wide-angle view, showing the full scale of this alien landscape? Or is it the more focused crop that centers all the swirling star trails directly over the single tufa, making you feel completely lost in the desert night?
I took my Sony a1 and a 20mm lens out for a mid-April trip, patiently watching the stars swirl one exposure at a time. The desert silence, the crisp night air, and watching those star trails perfectly frame the center spire made the lack of sleep entirely worth it. 🌌

👉 Swipe to see both edits, and the powerful unedited single exposure that started it all!

A dream finally realized at the edge of the world. ✨
After renting an off-road SUV and driving for hours into the absolute middle of nowhere, my photography buddy and I finally reached the legendary Racetrack Playa. Cut off from the world with zero cell service, the sheer isolation of the pitch-black desert was terrifying at first—until the sky opened up.
While the cameras soaked in the starlight, I laid back and watched meteors flash by in complete darkness. It was like sitting in a front-row seat at a cosmic planetarium.
The Science of the Sailing Stones:
For decades, how these rocks moved was a mystery. It turns out, it takes a rare combination of water, ice, and wind. A shallow pool of rainwater freezes into thin ice sheets overnight. As the ice breaks up in the morning sun, gentle winds push the ice panels into the rocks, causing them to slide across the slick mud and leave these long trails behind.
Swipe to see the playa during the quiet blue hour, followed by the Milky Way glowing over the tracks. Hope you all like it! 🌌📸

Sometimes the best shots come from the most spontaneous decisions. Made a sudden trip out to my absolute favorite place on Earth just to catch the Milky Way rising over Tunnel View. Standing in the quiet of the valley floor while the galactic core lines up perfectly over El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall never gets old. There is truly nothing like the magic of Yosemite under a blanket of stars. ✨🌌
Gear: Sonya1 + 14mm f1.8 GM + MSM tracker

Blink… and you’ve already missed magic. 💨🌸
Patience paid off with these lightning-fast beauties.
A tiny symphony of speed and color—captured in a moment most eyes would miss.
It’s incredible how something so small can move so impossibly fast.
Frozen in time through high shutter speed, revealing what usually goes unseen.

From catching fire at sunrise to walking on an alien world below sea level... Death Valley is a place of absolute extremes. 📸🏔️

This photo series captures the incredible contrast of this park. The first few shots are from our morning at Zabriskie Point. Waking up in the freezing pre-dawn light is 100% worth it when you get to watch the sun crest the horizon and ignite the badlands. The way the morning light sculpts those golden peaks and deep valleys is a photographer's dream.

But the landscape completely transforms when you head down to the Badwater Basin salt flats. Standing at the lowest point in North America surrounded by these endless, icy-blue crystalline patterns and winding salt trails puts everything into perspective. It feels completely otherworldly, almost like walking on a giant, abstract canvas.

It’s hard to believe these two vastly different landscapes are in the same exact park! Swipe through the album to see the journey.

Are you drawn more to the golden sunrise over the peaks, or the cool, abstract patterns of the salt flats? Let me know below! 🏜️❄️

The "Shifting Sands"

Wind-sculpted perfection at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. There is something incredibly hypnotic about the way the late afternoon sun catches the crest of every ripple, turning the valley floor into a sea of contrasting light and shadow.

Pushing in with the 70-200mm lens was the perfect way to compress these delicate, sweeping lines and isolate the abstract patterns of the sand against the rugged mountain backdrop. A brief moment of stillness in an ever-shifting landscape.

Location: Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Death Valley.
Gear: Sony a1 + Sony 70-200 f2.8 mm GM II lens

When distance disappears for just a second…
This Short-eared Owl was hunting far out in the fields — and then, just once, it came straight toward me.
A brief, silent, golden-hour encounter. Eye to eye.

Moments like this are why we wait. 🦉✨
