Overview

Two houses built into the rock: one dropped between boulders under a copper roof, one cut into a sandstone wall with a pool running the length of it. Shot for a book about living where nothing grows.

02 — Process

Both sites photographed at either end of the day, when the rock goes orange and the pools hold the last of the sky. The long waits were for the moment the house stops competing with the landscape and settles into it.
