High Torque

Every year in Key West, Florida powerboats are racing for World Championship. Professional boat racers from all over the world are coming to push their limits.
I took this photos handheld from a boat using an ND filter to increase the exposure.

I am a landscape photographer based in Key West, Florida, originally from the Republic of Moldova. When I came in Key West, my photography journey became more fascinating, as I was surrounded by the ocean and water become mostly present in my photography as the subject, often combined with the human activity elements. I like to show moments that can't or can hardly be seen with the naked eye such as lightning strikes or the coastal shore using long exposure techniques. My ultimate goal is to bring positive changes in people's lives by spreading the beauty and appreciation of Mother Nature.
