Picture a sizzling hot day in the middle of nowhere, many miles down rumbly dirt roads. Vast still reflections stretch in all directions, and pink frothy waters gently lap the crystalline shores of the Great Salt Lake. The landscape is as strangely beautiful as it is inhospitable.
I heave my camera pack onto my back and trudge a half mile through the sinking salt flats, while clumsily dragging along a plastic white lawn chair and an enormous rainbow beach umbrella. You might call it odd; I call it my typical photography process in action.
I recently wrote an article for Urth Magazine titled “Exercise your Creativity with Props”, which is all about how to use regular household objects to spice up your photos. Read the rest on Urth Magazine.
