About the artwork

The portrait format is less common in landscape photography, but actually wrongly so. In English-speaking countries it is also known as a "portrait". And that's exactly what it can do: really portray a landscape.
This picture was taken on the rocky coast of Madeira. The landscape with its bizarre rocks is unique and it was a great pleasure to photograph there. The conditions were difficult, with strong winds and choppy water making it difficult for the photographer to balance over the sharp but smooth rocks.
In the end, however, the result is an image that contains all the ingredients for a portrait of a rugged, natural coastal landscape!
The image was photographed as a long exposure, which allows the water to be depicted softly and also makes the clouds look very picturesque.
This type of photography is demanding and places certain requirements on the shooting technique and the material. For example, it is essential to use a stable tripod that allows blur-free shots even in strong winds. In the end, however, it's the result that counts and when the photographer goes home with a picture like this, all the effort is quickly forgotten.
Professionally photographed and printed with a great deal of expertise, a very unique image is delivered to your own four walls! Thanks to the high resolution of the camera technology used, the picture is also ideal for the largest picture formats! The many small details stand out in razor-sharp detail, so that the viewer immediately becomes part of the scenery!
