Photographer Travels Across the US with His Camera, Girlfriend, and LED Hula Hoop

This past May, photographer Grant Mallory and his girlfriend Maria celebrated Maria’s college graduation by embarking on an epic road trip around the United States. Mallory wanted to capture each National Park’s scenic locations in a unique way, so he brought along an LED hula hoop and had Maria pose for light painting portraits.

“Although it took a lot of patience to get the shots, I am glad that we took the time to do it right,” Mallory tells PetaPixel.

Here are some of the photos they’ve made thus far:

Crater Lake, Oregon

Golden Gate Bridge, California

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

Redwoods National Park, California

Olympic National Park, Washington

Badlands National Park, South Dakota

The couple are documenting their travels on their blog, He and She Travel. You can also follow along with his photography through his Flickr photostream.
