Here’s another archive natural history piece for those of you looking forward to Spring. Taken just outside of Mason, Texas, where the granite rock seemingly grows from the ground everywhere! This particular area of Texas is home to a diverse set of ecosystems, where not only 100 miles away, inklings of the Chihuahuan desert come into view. In any case, this shot is a testament to good light and nice shadows making for pleasing composition. Many students in the Junction intersession photography seminar have seen this area. In fact, there was probably one standing next to me getting a pretty similar shot!
More to come!
I'm an editorial and natural history photographer based out of Lubbock, Texas, as well as a photography instructor at Texas Tech University. My work primarily focuses on features and environmental portraits for magazines, books, and commercial purposes, and I'm available for both domestic and international travel.
I'm a regular contributor to the Manfrotto School of Xcellence, an educational resource for amateurs and professionals alike. I'm also a partner and editor for Badlands Design and Production, a publishing house that focuses on high-end coffee table photography books.
What a beautiful shot Jerod!
Here’s hoping spring comes soon.
