"I made Weathered while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail near Sonora Pass. Moving through the hills, I looked over and saw these lone trees on the ridge, and to me they looked like weathered hikers, gaunt and tired, working their way up the hill. To give the sky its drama, I used a tried-and-true #25 red filter, which blocks blue light so the sky darkens and the clouds and twisted trunks stand out. Depending on the camera, that effect can come from a filter on the lens, an in-camera setting, or later in post-production when working from raw files." ~ Gavin McChesney

Gavin McChesney is drawn to the severity of line, contrast, and structure. Photojournalism taught him to look for relationships and moments, rather than simply beautiful subjects. That instinct still shapes the way he photographs the natural world. 

Note, framing options coming soon! Pending availability, there may be a 1-2 week delay to complete custom framing or custom printing of unframed photographs.
