Step inside a dynamic image of coastal surf captured in 50 shades of grey. Why black and white photography? For me, the true essence of my subject sometimes comes to life better: the lines, the perspective, the light.
Focus on textures
It transforms the scene to its most basic forms, where everything that is not essential disappears. Here the focus is entirely on the subject, and in this case, this dynamic tidal landscape on the isle of Terschelling in the Netherlands.
A Topdown Movement of Tides:
Taken from the sky with a drone, this photo captures the coastline in a unique perspective. It shows the ebb and flow as a dance, a continuous movement of nature. Waves do not just become waves, but now form a rhythmic composition.
Water Surface and Details:
Black and white reveals the depth of textures, like the undulating patterns that adorn the water's surface ever-changing. Every detail, every ripple gets the attention it deserves, creating a wealth of nuance that might otherwise be lost.
This picture is not just another image, it is a fine play with contrast. It is an invitation to experience the coastline as you have never seen it before: in its purest and most intense form. Feel the power of the tides, see the dance of light and shadow.
