Since moving to the central coast of California a couple years ago, I’d heard about the wild flowers…but I just got to go see them this week. Amazing. All the rain we’ve received this 2016-17 season has produced some deep colors and much beauty.

When taking sunset pictures at Gaviota Beach, I ran into a few college students from Santa Barbara doing their own photo shoot, and they let me dive in. Much appreciated — and I hope you enjoy!

Happened to have grabbed my camera on the way to the beach, where I met the nicest kid, Charlie Wiswall, who was just setting up his kite and allowed me to take some pics. Best of luck to him!

I took a weekend camping trip to the Channel Islands and ended up kayaking through this arch. This island is one of the smaller islands, very desolate, but offering amazing features just off the south end.

I decided to make the drive to Grimes Canyon, all the way from Long Beach which took me about 2 hours. I went by myself. Turned out good. I caught a great sunset.

The California coast is breathtaking. Big Sur is a state park that has the most picturesque coastal highway. I took this photo on my road trip through Big Sur. I took the drone up to 1600 feet and was able to snap this beautiful photo.

I think I ruined someone’s long exposure while taking this shot. If you enjoyed my photo and used it somewhere, please tag my instagram @adele_payman! Fair is fair.

I got to spend this Thanksgiving weekend at my in-laws beautiful beach house in Malibu. One morning, I woke up to see the sunrise. As the sun was coming up, I walked outside to go down the beach house stairs to the beach. This was the view and it was too good not to snap a photo or two of.

I woke up early one morning while I was staying on the coast of California to see the sunrise. The colors in the sky were unreal. I wanted to capture the peaceful calmness of the view, so I shot the wave breaking with a slow shutter, giving it that soft, peaceful feel. Takes me back every time I look at it.

I drove out the the desert with some friends in the middle of a heatwave. The good part was that there wasn’t a soul out there. The bad part was 30 mph winds smacking us in the face with 115 degree heat. It was so hot that the coolant in the Jeep was boiling the whole time.

We were traveling down the west coast from San Francisco to Los Angeles. We finally broke away from the fog and were able to see beyond 100ft in front of us so we decided to stop at the first pullover stop we saw. Much to our amazement, we were looking down on one of the most beautiful scenes we’ve ever witnessed. It was so tranquil that we actually spent about a half hour just sitting there watching in silence.

This photo was taken during an outing with a friend who I had known for seven years, but had never met in person, believe it or not. We befriended each other through online video gaming, and became very close despite being 3,000 miles apart. Fortuitously, as he was training for the US Airforce, he was stationed at a base an hour away from my home. This was a great opportunity to show him around the places I grew up, including the Santa Monica Pier was this photo was taken. Having been born in Santa Monica, I had never thought much of these tourist attractions, but now this sight feels fresh.

How does water know which side of the rock to fall? Our world is built with phenomena often taken for granted, from swirling galaxies to the streams of the ground. Sometimes I find myself looking up rather than looking around. I decided to shift my focus in this situation and froze this low point of view image in time.

I’m used to sunrising over mountain top and spilling into valleys, but the beauty isn’t in the landscape as much as the sun itself. The warmth, the light, the sight.

While wondering around filming in Venice Beach I took a second, stepped back and took in the moment. Then I switched to camera mode and snapped this photo without truly dialing in the correct settings. When I got to editing the photo I actually enjoyed how it came out. The blurred facing and all. It gives light to know specific person so you can envision yourself as the guy or guy headed to catch some waves on a beautiful sunny Cali day.

I was at the Venice Skatepark one day and I saw this amazing skateboarder and he asked me to take a couple of lifestyle pictures for him so I took this one really special one that reminded me of Childish Gambino’s song Kauai.
