Santa Barbara Wilderness

In the very beginning, I had to do some nature shots, when Ellie was going to walk through this creek on her way to the destroyed neighborhoods. I used Montecito as a reference for this, because it’s the closest thing to what we were after geographically. I tried to closely represent the indigenous plants and trees that you would really find in these parts of California, while tailoring it to make the space as easy to navigate as possible. On another note, it was a complex photobashing challenge which was fun to tackle.
