The stark beauty of Iceland stands highlighted when captured on black & white film. The inherent contrasts in its landscapes, its silent majesty, all the more soul stirring when looked at in monochrome.
The aim of this image of Iceland's famed black sand beach is to still the heart of the viewer, even if for a moment; to pause, reflect and experience our inherent connection with nature.
Based at New Delhi, India, Prarthana Modi studied photography at Central St. Martins School of Art & Design and The School of Black & White Photography, London.
A creative photographer, she captures all her images on conventional silver halide (black & white) film, only and her images are sold as limited edition, archival prints.
The choice of black & white is because Prarthana likes to see the starkness of the situation, in the image - colours distract her from this.
She has exhibited her works in solo & group exhibitions in India as well as London, Paris, Shanghai, Amsterdam, USA & UK.
