I was lucky these beautiful clouds shaped themselves somehow to follow the line of the horizon. In this photo it is all about the contrast of dark and light; another fascinating theme I use a lot in my work. The foreground became pitch black no longer revealing what it really is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651f20b74ccab623ba80aaf5/d9e50647-b41a-4926-9801-2f2b71bfd250/Unreal.jpeg Blog - Photography; Freezing In Time Reflections Of Who I Am - ‘Unreal’ In the unedited photo ‘Unreal’, I captured this church towering into the foggy sky. The perspective and the surrounding fog makes it look unreal and photo-shopped, which makes it all the more interesting to me. It is also almost like a bridge leading to another world. Recurring theme is a distinct and concrete shape appearing in the emptiness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651f20b74ccab623ba80aaf5/91b069c8-180b-46f3-96b1-737a60ef4334/Poetry+in+form.jpeg Blog - Photography; Freezing In Time Reflections Of Who I Am - Poetry in form In the photo ‘Poetry in form’, I wanted to show the graceful forms of branches. But in such a way that the empty space functions as a canvas. The canvas or empty space for me represents the eternal. Forms appear in a finite tiemframe. I also find the minimal, almost Oriental aesthetics, very pleasing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651f20b74ccab623ba80aaf5/f261c255-391b-4f87-8aae-f2d039baeafa/Magical.jpeg Blog - Photography; Freezing In Time Reflections Of Who I Am - ‘Magical world’ I made this photo when the floodplains where flooded, on a very foggy morning. Trees can be seen ‘knee deep’ in the water where normally there isn’t water. Also the sun desperately tries to break through the fog. Luckily it didn’t succeed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651f20b74ccab623ba80aaf5/01336e00-f665-4bf5-b0c0-7f179f925481/Reflections.jpeg Blog - Photography; Freezing In Time Reflections Of Who I Am - ‘Reflections’ I looked at the water surface while walking over a very small bridge on a beautiful sunny day. The clear water, leafs on the surface, shapes under the water; sunlight and reflections, form a beautiful composition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/651f20b74ccab623ba80aaf5/09c2fb14-940e-4f8b-9098-06f3c06ab8bc/forms.jpg Blog - Photography; Freezing In Time Reflections Of Who I Am - ‘Forms in emptiness’ Out of the eternal all shapes and forms arise to appear in time. Only to dissolve back into the eternal.
