Magic Hour as New Beginnings
Through events that shake civilizations, through storms that cause mass devastation, and through the hardest things humanity ever had to face, a golden sun washes over history with a promise of a new chapter. The sun has always been a monumental symbol in my life as it is a constant reminder that with every dawn comes new challenges and opportunities to experience life. I wanted to show that through a set of photographs inspired by Theodore Gericault's Romanticism era paintings.

First Light
the world stands in silence as life wakes.

Humble
the sun bashfully sneaks behind tufts of clouds, yet, the streams of light are strong enough to withstand anything that comes their way.

Denouement
Curtains of night befall the planet as the sun bows out, preparing for its next performance.

Rising
The trees hold hands as they bask in the warmth of a tangerine lit sky

Slow Descent
Night rolls over, for even the strongest of us needs rest
