ENTRY DESCRIPTION
In July 2019 I travelled to Ilulissat, West Greenland to photograph the icebergs in Disko Bay. Each giant iceberg, some the size of football stadia, seem to adopt a distinct character: the ‘cathedral’, the ‘doorstop’, the ‘aircraft carrier’ etc. This composition caught my eye because of the rectangular block effect created not only by the iceberg but the shadow in the water and the clouds; rather like a Mark Rothko abstract paining. I left with an overall impression of otherworldly shapes and textures. I was also struck by the overwhelmingly high key mono tones in the midnight sun. The icebergs calve from the glacier and they slowly melt in a continuous cycle. The issue is that this is happening at an ever accelerating rate.

AUTHOR
I'm a keen amateur photographer with a passion for minimalist, abstract and otherworldly images. This kind of photography allows me to create and quite frankly escape a little bit from 'reality.' I live in rural North Wiltshire in the UK but through my job I have had the opportunity to travel far and wide. I particularly like seascapes but dabble in all kinds of landscape. Currently use Fuji GFX kit.
