“Waterfoss” - The waterfalls of Iceland are an iconic emblem of the
beauty that flows out of every part of Iceland. As long exposure
photographs, the photograph is a fusion of physical perception and
autobiographical and metaphorical insight where the how and what of
taking a photograph becomes secondary to why we make the
photograph the way we do to better understand our motivations as
artists. It is my way of creating a parallel world of feeling that you are
immersed in something that is intellectually and imaginatively beautiful
and embracing the paradox that reality is both negotiable and essential
to fine art photography. As an inspiration, I wanted to capture a
fluidity and dynamism in this composition by creating a symmetry-
asymmetry between elements and forming an equilibrium between the
luminosity and shadow in the photographs to create a
phenomenological presence, as if the viewer is experiencing the
moment with me, and a palpable absence to the viewer to fill in their
own blanks. These principles help shape my photographic vision.
