Landscapes: Honorable Mention 2020 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I‘m really drawn to landscapes that transform, change or disappear. Every photograph of and icebergs shows a unique moment, a landscapes which has changed and is most likely gone by now, only captured by the camera. That is some really special inspiration to me and with this black and white series I tried to really carve out the forms and shapes of the ice in contrast to the dark ocean water.
