Constellation Park Sepia

Captured just outside Sedona, Arizona in Constellation Park, this surreal landscape was photographed using a modified Hasselblad X1D for infrared photography. In this ethereal infrared image, the rugged rock formations glow with otherworldly warmth, while the foliage below—normally rich desert greens—takes on ghostly, cool tones of blue and silver. Above it all, high-altitude cirrus clouds stretch dramatically across a deepened sky, their motion frozen in time like brushstrokes on a vast canvas.

Infrared photography reveals what the eye cannot see, and in this case, it transforms the Arizona desert into something almost lunar—familiar in form yet alien in mood. The quiet strength of the rocks, combined with the swirling sky and spectral trees, evokes a dreamlike quality that feels more myth than memory.
