Light on water

This work represents boats shot at night using the long exposure process, the exposure time varies from a few seconds to several minutes

In this series I attempted something new. Weâ??ve all seen long exposures with cars or even planes. The result is better than I first expected.
The shots were taken from the Mediterranean cost near Nice in France.

Sherif Elhage was born on the 25th of March 1980 in St Petersbourg and raised in Beirut by his Russian-Estonian mother and Lebanese father, he now lives in Paris.
The composition of the color and the original framing are integral elements of Sherif's work.
His formal training is in communications, his professional experience ranging from fashion to advertising. Sherif seeks to play with the human eye rather than address traditional methods of iconography; his photographs break scenographic conjunctions through optical trickery and a combination of inventive minimalism.
