ARIZONA LOCATION GUIDE

PHON D SUTTON

Phot D Sutton has to be one of my new favorite places to shoot in the Spring and Summer time. With the lush greens and flowing river there is a variation of spots to shoot around the area. Phon D Sutton sits in Tonto National Forest so you'll need an $8 recreation pass to the park. You can buy them at Circle K gas stations on the way to the park or you can buy them for a few more dollars at the kiosk near the parking lot entrance. 

For the best lighting I recommend shooting an hour to an hour and half before sunset. Unless you want that moody blue hour. In that case I recommend shooting an hour to 30 minutes before sunset. To get down to the water it's a short walk down a rocky hill so you'll want to wear some shoes that will be comfortable walking down to the river in and bring whatever shoes you're wanting to shoot in. OR you could go barefoot to embrace the full vibe of shooting by the river..
