I feel that environmental portraits just take themselves. The level of relaxation people have when they're in their comfort zone makes capturing photos like this easy.

Another shot for I shot this last summer in the California desert near Boron. Tricky situation as we needed to get approval from Edwards Air Force Base just down the road. We weren't able to fly below the lip of the open pit mine, which was kind of funny, getting approval to fly a drone in the hole that you dug. Lots of cool textures and colors here. And hot, really hot. Temperatures hovered around 110 degrees in the three days we were in the area. All in all a pretty great experience.

Ahhh the top down in aerial photography/videography. It gets it's fair share of hate online "it's not original" "it's been overdone" "it all looks the same" etc.... I don't care. I love top down shots. I love taking them, looking at them and thinking about how things would look, textures from above, all of it. Thus begins my new Tuesday theme, (not a new hashtag, but whatever) This shot is out at Lake Hattie, WY, the model is the lovely again who is usually windsurfing up there, but sometimes the wind just isn't blowing up there (like 2 days/year) and you gotta find something else to do to beat the heat.

Dreaming of those summer days! As winter winds down (sorry MN), I can't wait to load up the new camper and head out and explore new areas. This was up near the WY/CO border at Lake Hattie. Not exactly a windsurfing mecca, but for the locals it ain't bad. I'm awful, here Lucas Mouttet is getting the goods at the end of the day as usual.
