Woolsey Fire, Malibu, California / by John Lazo

Last week I drove to Malibu, California at sunrise to photograph some of destruction of the recent Woolsey Fire in Southern California. The fire burned all the way to the coast after starting in Simi Valley. I started photographing along the PCH until I stumbled upon a small community of houses where I came across several houses that got burned down. It was an incredible experience that makes you consider all the things it’s easy to take for granted.

All the photographs were taken with a Canon 7D Mark II along with a 24-70mm lens. The photos were predominantly edited using Adobe Lightroom in combination with Nik Color Efex Pro.
