At the tender age of 18, photographer Shawn Reeder won a trip to Yosemite National Park and promptly fell in love with its “beauty and awe”. Since then he’s been compiling wonderful, high-definition footage which he has finally deemed ready to share with the world.

Yosemite, the High Sierra, and the Eastern Sierra are some of the most beautiful places on earth.  Ever since I serendipitously won a trip to Yosemite when I was 18, the beautiful Range of Light has captured my heart and become my home.  Nothing brings me more joy than to share this life changing beauty with others.  Ever since I became fascinated with timelapse photography almost 2 years ago, I’ve wanted to do a piece on Yosemite & the Sierra.  Now after almost two years of shooting, I´m thrilled to share it with you.  I hope you enjoy my vision of my home, the majestic Yosemite & Sierra.
