Great Smoky Mountains N.P., 2016

I made this image on a crisp fall morning when the forest seemed to be burning with color. Everywhere I looked, the trees were alive with gold, amber, and red—an overwhelming display of fall's full splendor. What I loved most was the layered density of it all: trunks rising like pillars through a canopy of fire, with evergreen undergrowth adding a quiet counterpoint below. It felt immersive, almost painterly, and I wanted to create a photograph that would honor that richness—not just in color, but in the feeling of being completely surrounded by the season.
