Shot for REI in the Moab backcountry, this series documents self supported bikepacking through long desert miles and shifting light. The work follows riders moving across remote terrain where effort, planning, and pace shape the experience as much as the landscape itself.

Photographing in this environment required working alongside the rhythm of the ride. Progress unfolds slowly across sand, slickrock, and open desert, where distance and elevation accumulate quietly over the course of a day.

Rather than focusing on singular moments, the images reflect the broader cadence of bikepacking in the desert. Movement, fatigue, and landscape blend together into a record of travel shaped by effort and place.
