Samantha’s Portraits on the Bonneville Salt Flats

by dav.d

I should just move to Wendover from July to October and call the Bonneville Salt Flats home base. It is a beautiful location and when you have amazing sunsets you get some great portraits. Samantha is a fellow photographer and we decided we’d go photograph each other on the Salt Flats.

These are the portraits I created of her. She is a stunner and very talented as a photographer. When I lose the rest of the weight I want her photographing me again. It was much fun and it is always fun to drive out to Wendover with a friend.

When photographing on the Salt Flats the ground is very flat with mountains in the distance. The sky can make a big difference in what kind of photographs we get. The sky and weather change quickly. Shortly after we left this shoot is started to lightly rain. So be prepared. And the best time of year to go out there is July to October. There are some automobile racers that shut down a big portion of the salt flats for racing. However, there are still parts close to the highway that are available. The location is really cool and almost otherworldly.
