CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES

Fire. It's dangerous and beautiful. It creates its own light and can turn on you in an instant. I always enter a fire scene fully geared up with the same stuff firefighters wear for safety and have a huge amount of respect for what they do. These massive out-of-control wildfires used to be rare, but they've been happening more frequently and are getting harder to control. Fires are one of my favorite things to cover, so I hope my passion for telling these visual stories is apparent through this set of images taken in the fire zone. Enjoy!
