Honorable Mention / 2021 / Nature / Seasons

Sinuosity

This is one single shot, not a composite. The ground on the right side was totally different from the one on the left side with snow.Even when it snowed, there was no snow on the right side of the image, where the ground was very wet. A rarely winter scene in March.

I am an artist, born (19th July 1985) and raised in Romania, living now in Frankfurt, Germany. As a child, I wanted to become a painter and I began to study painting by my own, having a lot of art books at home from my parents. My passion for fine art photography started in 2008.
In my images I try to photograph the silence, being interested in the poetry of the ordinary, always searching for expression in the commonly overlooked scenes that surround us. I enjoy photographing in ''bad weather'', when the landscape is covered with snow, fog and mist or simply under an endless grey sky.
