Setting up for the perfect shot often means battling the elements and embracing the unexpected. This week, we found ourselves waist-deep in snow at dawn, waiting for the first light to hit the peaks.

Capturing these moments requires patience, resilience, and sometimes a little luck. Here's a glimpse into the chaos and beauty that goes into each photograph.
