Title: To Flow as One
(November, 2021)
Location: Fanal Forest, Madeira (Portugal)
Description: From the moment I saw this tree, I knew I needed to create something with it, to try to match the flow of it's shape. However, it took me almost 4 weeks before I was able to capture this scene - every time I came back to this spot, the weather either wasn't in my favour (I needed just the right amount of foggy atmosphere!) or there were too many tourists wandering around this tree (and I get too self conscious shooting self portraits in front of strangers, haha).
After coming back to this place multiple times throughout my month living in Madeira, I realized in my last couple days that I either had to capture this image now, or not at all. So I went back to this tree when it was absolutely POURING rain and stormy (but also foggy, yay!...and less tourists during the storm), and I set up my camera to capture the scene, and then just waited for openings in the rain and wind so I could throw off my rain gear and run over to this tree to capture a few photos before the next round of rain and wind blasted through! Each weather opening lasted less than a minute, so I would have to run back to cover my camera and throw on my warm clothes and rain jacket again - I had to do this about 5 times over the course of an hour before I finally caught the image I wanted, in the most magical but briefest moment of light and less rain. 😂 By the end of this shoot I couldn't feel my body from the cold and being completely drenched (as is often the case in a lot of my images, hahah), but I'm so happy I persevered and ended up with one of my all-time favourite images.
