ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The late afternoon sunlight creates layers of shadows, which creep across the dunes. The deep shadows seem to push back against the intense sunlight, creating string contrast which highlights one of the few signs of life, except for the fading footprints in the distance.

AUTHOR
Eric M. Renard (http://www.ericrenardphotography.com) is a Los Angeles based Photographer. Born in New York, he attended school in the Bronx. Eric spent his summers in Maine, where he was first exposed to photography and dark rooms. Eric’s passion for photography was reignited at Tufts University in Boston, where he studied under Sigfried Halus.

After graduating, Eric moved to San Francisco, as an architectural photographer before moving to Los Angeles. Eric’s unique exposure to both urban and rural living can be seen throughout his work, as he is equally at home in both settings. Whether working in black and white or vibrant colors, his urban cityscapes and rural landscapes often reflect an eerie sense of peace and quiet, rarely portraying more than one or two people.

Eric’s photography has been exhibited in galleries in Los Angeles and Minnesota and viewed digitally around the world, receiving numerous awards.
