My main passion in photography is shooting landscapes in the Palouse. However a few weeks ago as I was preparing to capture a shot at Dry Falls State Park, a girl and her boyfriend came onto the scene. As I watched, she climbed over a barrier fence and proceeded to walk across the landscape in my photo.
I asked if she would mind if I took her picture and she agreed to also sign a model release. The photo at the top of this post gives some perspective as she sat atop a rock cliff high above the valley below. I must say she was a very daring model as I would not have climbed to that position myself.

In the second photo, I concentrated on trying to capture her free spirit and used the valley, clouds and full moon as a interesting background. This was really a fun experience for all of us and I would suggest adding people in your landscapes to share a different perspective. The Palouse in this case provided not only beauty of its own but was also an amazing outdoor studio.
