Death Valley is without doubt the most amazing place I have ever seen. My photography style of isolation is very easily achieved. But not with this shot. There were plenty of people on the salt pan and I thought I would never get what I wanted. Then a couple walked past me, a child on one parent’s back, and I thought "This shot could work!". And it does. I think it’s the only photograph in my prints collection with people in it, and, unusually, it adds to the loneliness, the silence. My favourite shot of the trip.
