Model: Julie Kruis<\/p>\n

Camera Info:\u00a0 Pentax 6×7\u00a0 300mm lens<\/p>\n

Film: Kodak Tri-X Pan 400<\/p>\n

Shoot Date:\u00a0 May 7, 1988<\/p>\n

In 1988, I was invited to be Artist In Residence at the Yosemite National Park Museum.<\/p>\n

My goal was to produce photographs for a museum gallery show, featuring images that juxtapose nude human physiques, against the dramatic natural features of Yosemite.<\/p>\n

I was provided with extended stay privileges, a rangers residence for my home base, facilities for my assistants, crew and models, along with complete access to anywhere in the park I wished to shoot.<\/p>\n

This image of actress Julie Kruis was taken from the South side of Yosemite Valley directly across from the Yosemite Falls, on the North side. We were only a couple of hundred feet off the main road, where large numbers of tourists constantly drive by to marvel at the beauty of the falls.<\/p>\n

For whatever reason, nobody seemed to notice the nude girl sitting up on top of a large rock outcropping, gazing out into the distant meadows, while some bearded guy was taking pictures. It was a rather overcast day with beautiful soft overhead light that greatly reduced the usual high-contrast glare that Yosemite is known for. It was a perfect situation for shooting outdoor nudes.<\/p>\n

Julie remained perched on that rock for quite a while after we finished shooting, taking in the beauty and distant rumbling sounds that emanated from one of the worlds tallest waterfalls.<\/p>\n

Julie and I spent several more days exploring around Yosemite looking for new places to explore and shoot. We found several great locations, and produced a good number of great images throughout that week.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pretty sure this once in a lifetime visit to Yosemite was a experience that Julie will never forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
