In 2012, the two photographers met on the video platform Vimeo and began planning the "Yosemite Project." Carrying heavy photography equipment, they reached the summit of Half Dome to capture the entire transformation from night to morning. Recalling the scenery, they remarked that it felt as if they were in another world. Since then, they have collaborated and encouraged each other to document their experiences and share them with the world.
The reason the duo decided to return to Yosemite National Park for a second shoot was to allow more people to appreciate the magnificent scenery of Yosemite. Through time-lapse technology, a few seconds of beauty are presented to the world as hours of footage. They also stated that all proceeds from viewing the short film would be donated to the Yosemite National Park administration for the maintenance and renovation of the national park.
