Beginning with my original photograph, Natural Wave, this piece explores two different ways of appreciating the sculpted beauty of Antelope Canyon. On the left, vibrant shades of rose, terracotta, and orange celebrate the rich colors of the sandstone. As the composition moves to the right, color gradually gives way to an approach inspired by the black-and-white photography of Ansel Adams, where light, shadow, and tonal contrast become the storytellers. Together, these contrasting treatments reveal the graceful curves, delicate textures, and timeless beauty of sandstone shaped by centuries of wind and water.
