Ice Abstraction
We have been interested in these wonderful ice shapes on the water for several years. These abstract shapes and forms, fabulous works of art created by nature are so fleeting and short-lived. They usually disappear unnoticed by anyone because they are fully visible only from above. It's a pity because they are simply beautiful. They arise only under certain specific conditions. Especially in central, lowland Europe, where winters are getting warmer. Last winter and this year, such conditions occurred only once and lasted only a few days.
We are Barbara and Maciej Noskowski, a husband and wife team of award-winning photographers, visual artists and travellers. We have many years of experience in aerial photography, taken from various aircrafts and drones. As world travellers we visited over 60 countries and 16 states in the USA. Our editorial photos were published among others in National Geographic, Cosmopolitan, Lonely Planet, Condé Nast Traveller, Vogue, Grazia, Bloomberg, The Guardian. We are the authors of the cover photos of many books by famous authors such as Zoe Valdez, or Olga Tokarczuk - Nobel Prize winner 2019.
