Last week, I flew down to Chile to spend a week at Ski Portillo, arguably South Americas most iconic ski area. Surrounded by tall Andean peaks, sitting next to the much-photographed Laguna del Inca, and home to the iconic Super C Couloir, its a bucket-list spot for many of us in North America who are not-so-patiently awaiting the return of winter.
Its wildfire season in the West, and weve seen a lot of terrifying and dismaying scorched-earth photos, but none that are quite as stunning as Stuart Palleys. The 28-year-old photographer, based in Newport Beach, California, has spent much of the summer chasing that states drought-fed blazes and shooting hard-working hotshot crews, gut-wrenching property destruction, and night shots that are just as eerie as they are beautiful. To find out more about how Palley works, we caught up with him late last week while he was coming back from the Blue Cut Fire near his home.
