Slot Canyon Magic (Patreon)

Continuing with yesterday's commentary about why I don't care to be "photoshopped into any location imaginable"... Here I am inside a vibrant orange slot canyon. Something magic about light skin tones and slot canyons is that the sunlight bounces off the walls and reflects onto my body, so my skin is reflecting the tones of the wall as well, creating a beautiful belonging with the nature. Sure, you could try faking it in photoshop... but it wouldn't be the same. I could do this same pose on a white background, but I wouldn't be feeling the walls of the canyon above me, thinking about how many more thousands of years it will take for that huge rock above me to finally finish falling through the cracks, sheepishly wondering how long it will before the next group of hikers will pass and I will have to quickly throw my robe on as not to offend any unsuspecting passerby... It's all part of the magic that makes the photo. Shot by Shaun Tia.
