Sand erosion patterns, desert surface macro

Available for hire

Aerial and ground-level desert photographer who captures wind erosion patterns — ripple marks in sand dunes, ventifact rock sculptures, yardang formations. The wind is the artist; the sand is the medium. Shoots exclusively during the 15 minutes of raking golden-hour sidelight that makes every grain cast a shadow.
