Produced for Beta Magazine, this editorial documents the Shire Crew, a close-knit group of Bellingham trail builders shaping their local landscape through hands-on craft and long hours on the ground. The work focuses on the process of building as much as the people behind it, tracing how trails emerge through repetition, problem-solving, and shared effort.

Shot over a concentrated window of time, the story blends environmental portraiture with immersive action, capturing moments of labor, rest, and connection. Rather than presenting trail building as spectacle, the project reflects the quieter rhythm of work done collectively, where place, community, and culture are built alongside the trails themselves.
