Landscapes: Honorable Mention 2018 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Nature at it's best..! I love rain in the desert and on this particular day I found a cycle track which has purposely been built around the pair of trees. I had to to work very quickly on this occasion as the weather was moving in and the band of rain behind the trees was moving from right to left extremely quickly. This is a rare sight in the UAE as it can only rain 4-5 times per year.
AUTHOR
I've always liked clean design, minimal modern art, simple compositions in landscape paintings, symmetry and balance. It always made sense to me that when composing a photograph, the image should be simplistic and uncluttered. This minimal style reflects a calm sense of mood which is my overall intention. I've always been more interested in shooting less recognisable locations as it adds more intrigue to the photograph, I'm also drawn to water, so you will see this appearing in much of my work. Beaches, lakes, oceans; they all hold photographic opportunities due to the changing reflective light, the movement and mood that water can produce with long exposures and the right conditions. I’ve visited places across the world such as Australia, USA, South Africa, UK, France, India, Italy, Greece, Jordan and Dubai where I currently reside. Each of these locations has influenced the evolution of my photographic style.
