Found in the northeastern India's Meghalaya State, these bridges are located in the foothills of the Himalaya. These bridges are a force of nature and human ingenuity, and I was humbled to learn about these intertwined root structures from people whose ancestors crafted them. To tell their story, we needed to show these living structures in a new light. After brainstorming with my photographer friend and lighting inspiration @anandavarma, we decided to make light painting the primary way to make nighttime portraits of these tree bridges. The idea was to use artificial lighting to isolate the big green bridges from their never-ending green rainforest background. Artificially lighting these humongous Ficus elastica trees was tricky and challenging. But after weeks of trying, the resulting images were close to what we had in mind: to make them look like they're right out of Lord of the Rings.
