I spent 5 full days in the swamps of Texas and Louisiana, documenting some of the most unique, and ethereal forests I’ve ever seen in my life. Each day I would see egrets flying around, always behind a tree, or in the shade, or directly overhead. I spent the entire week dreaming of a shot like this, downright fantasizing about how beautiful it would be to catch one in the beautiful golden morning light, flying through the gentle mist rising off the water. On my very last morning in the swamps all my dreams came true, everything lined up, and I was ready to capture a shot I had envisioned for days prior.
