When Adam met @kimyapmaui for their full moon sunrise shoot as part of his ongoing portrait project, he began a bit disappointed. The moon, which usually hangs around a bit in the sky in the early morning just before setting, sank so quickly he barely had time to photograph a few shots before it was gone completely.

On the plus side, Kim looked amazing and the conditions were perfect for getting creative with a few things he’d wanted to try but probably wouldn’t have had the chance had he been focused on the moon. Win!

Do you see the face in the sky in the first image? It’s SO detailed and gives me goosebumps every time I see it.
