I had an opportunity to visit Palouse one last time before I leave US and move back home. If you had been following my photographic journey, you might very well know that Palouse is one of my favorite places to visit to take pictures. Pictures from both of my previous trips have been very well received by a lot of viewers. So I would not want to let go of this chance to photograph the harvest season. The initial plan was for me was to drive alone. When I was talking about this to fellow photographers Siddharth and Vinayak, they showed immediate interest to go with me. I’m always excited to be with photo enthusiasts. Vin later put a FB message and asked for models to join our trip. We managed to find a model(Morgan) who was interested in joining us. Sid’s friend Lily also joined us and volunteered to be a model. So there we were, 3 photogs and 2 models, set out to capture the beauty of the rolling hills and wheat farms.

My pictures from the first two trips were very different and this time I wanted them to be a lot different compared to the previous two trips. I have been thinking about how I can make them unique. So I got some props like umbrella, hats and other stuffs ready. Also I was envisioning a shot with a very long fabric and got a 10 yard fabric cloth. Although the shot I was thinking about did not turn out exactly the same, I still managed to make some good pictures. We also carried lights and soft boxes which we ended up using very little than what we thought.

Here’s the first installment of pictures. I have also posted some behind the scenes shot. Have a look at them and provide your comments.

Come back for more pictures.
