ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Reynisfjara Black Sand beach is one of the most famous in Iceland. It combines dramatic black volcanic sands, with a view out to sea towards its famous sea stacks. I tried in this shot to use monochrome and long exposure to create a layered effect as well as silhouetting the stacks themselves in the composition.

I used a number of neutral density and graduated filters to balance the sky and land tonalities and provide a long enough exposure to create the silky effect of the sea.

AUTHOR
I fell in love with photography at the age of 13. It has been a lifelong passion ever since and is the channel for my creative output. I look to create strong emotional images that tell a story. The advent of digital has been a revelation for me. It enables creativity and has elevated photography in my view to a more dynamic and innovative art form.

Most recently, I have been returning to Iceland to cover the many aspects of the unique landscapes there, in particular, its waterfalls and bleak volcanic landscapes.
