"This photo is the first in an upcoming adventure series that I am working on. For this image, I knew I wanted to have a climber/hiker climbing up a mountain, with an epic landscape in the background. Myself, the model, and two assistants scaled a local peak last saturday, with more gear than we probably should have brought (made climbing the peak quite challenging). We only had about an hour and half of good light left before we had to climb back down, so we had to work pretty fast. We tried a couple different angles, and I finally settled on the one you see above." - Sean Moore
EXIF:
I wanted to mimic the sunlight so I lit the model using a silver beauty dish from camera right. The image was taken at ISO 100, 1/125, at f/11
