Infinity

Part of Yayoi Kusama's 'Infinity' exhibition are rooms filled of mirrors that create a feeling of dissolving into infinite space. Studying the effect of a dark room with mirrors, light bulbs and visitors, I thought what I am left with is an image of an infinite horizon disappearing into infinite space and time.

Getting into the scene

Do you feel like being in the water? Playing with perspective I'm interested on the effect it has on the message and the viewer. And, the photo also picks up on several of 'my' themes, it has a wide tonal range of the same colour, strong light reflections and a strong sense of space.

Light reflections

What I was after were the light reflections in the water, a theme that's fascinated me before. But the image seemed incomplete without the sun. So I dared challenge the camera and took the photo with the sun straight ahead of me. The photo was taken on Bowen Island, Canada, on an early evening as the sun started to go down.

Black and white

To me this image seemed to lend itself to a black and white conversion and, I thought, it contrasts well with my two previous posts.

Night at the lake

The light seemed to be floating in the water. I wanted to catch the impression of the land seemingly disappearing into the darkness, giving the image a sense of endlessness and mystery.

Light and shade

Staying with the theme of shade and light reflections, this was one picture I could not miss. My attraction was how the light reflections highlighted the moving water, giving the place a hint of mystery, a stage for the mind to make up its own story...

Night study

I love experimenting with night photography. Catching the mood of an evening, the darkness bringing its very own feel to the environment. This photo was taken in Venice, after a long rainy day. And what stood out for me was the stillness, an almost total absence of sound and movement.

Light study

Walking in the forest, I found the sun shining onto the spider net. I was curious how much detail would come out and how the scene would work out as a photo.

Light and shade

While back in London I'm still working through my photographic adventures in Rio de Janeiro. One of my friends invited me to visit Floresta da Tijuca, an urban forest surrounding parts of Rio de Janeiro. The light that day was amazing and I soon found myself studying the effects it created breaking through the taller trees.

Little Souvenirs

The tropical forest. I love forests and am fascinated by forests. And I find it quite a challenge to take a photo of a rainforest that reflects my admiration for nature. So I go out again and again and try to create a photo that shows the magic and soul of a forest. This is another of my attempts to create an image that shows that a forest is much more than the many plants within.

The invitation

Would you like to take a moment? Unspoken moments. I felt drawn to this bench and the shadows cast around it by the trees.

Happy Valentines

 

Guess what ... No, I could not resist that sparkly with candle light. And that's what I made of it: another painting by camera.

Reflections

From self-created abstracts through movement to taking photos of real life. After dark, I was walking by a window and saw these light reflections. And I am still amazed how well they translated into a photo.
