Description The Visual Contrasts


The harsh rock and the soft green moss, the frozen ice sea and the stagnant warm water, the blurred skies and the sharpened memory of having been there, in a totally desert place. So many visual contrasts creating such a poignant emotional richness inside me, making me want to search further and further for places like this.

Praia da Cordoama


One of my favorite beaches, located in the the south western coast of Portugal. The sea was very agitated that day, and there was sea water spray everywhere, causing that blurred horizon line. Always keep your lens cleaning tissues close on this kind of water, as you will have to usem them every 5-10 minutes!

Beautiful shot! Not so keen on the magenta/purple clouds... little too un-natural for my liking, but the seaweed really pops and I really like the composition too!

I don't normally give landscapes a second glance, but this one was shouting to be looked at. Very nicely done... the striations and textures of the foreground rocks make this image for me!

Haven't give favs to landscapes for a long time. But this piece should have one because of its amazing colour!
