#9 - MYSTIC COVE

The basaltic pillars of Londrangar always reminded me either of a cathedral, or of a kneeling person praying. The basaltic plug in the middle of the cove under Londrangar cliffs reminded me of a lectern, or of an altar. The whole area always carried a mystic air, and I returned many times over the years waiting for the right light to convey that feeling; until one day, at sunset, the light and the clouds were just right. A moderately long exposure helped me smoothening the clouds while keeping their shapes, as well as simplifying the ocean’s waves while retaining texture in the water.

ABOUT VOICES OF THE OCEAN

All my life, I felt a profound affinity with the sea. I always have been amazed by the magical way the ocean lives and breathes, by its powers and endless energy. The ocean feels to me like a living creature, benevolent and terrible at the same time, constantly at work shaping the landscape.

The ocean comes with many voices, visually. The long waves and roaring waters offer an infinite range of expressive possibilities to interpret the ocean’s landscapes through a careful use of the visual representation of time.

Working around the ocean, for me, is a never-ending source of inspiration: this collection represents 7 years of photography, listening to the Voices of The Ocean.
