Days at Sea

While at sea in the Pacific Ocean, time stands still and the infinite expanse reminds us of our place in the world. Painting the moody seascapes with long exposure creates a canvas of colour.

Ulana Switucha has photographed throughout Asia for over 30 years. She is inspired by light, shape and tone and is drawn by the clarity and awareness of creating an image. Her simple, often minimal, compositions present a connection with the subject whether it be landscape, portraiture or documentary.
