Sunset in Sicily

About this work:
On the north coast of Sicily, the sky shifts from golden yellow to deep orange, whilst higher up in the sky the blue of evening is already setting in. At the tip of the dark headland, the silhouette of the sanctuary of Tindari is just about visible. Thanks to a long exposure, the Tyrrhenian Sea has been transformed into a silky-smooth, almost misty surface, in which a few rocks rest like silent dots. A few glowing clouds drift across the sky like flames. This work captures the magical moment when day turns into night and brings warmth, tranquillity and stillness to any interior.

About Jeroen Berendse:
In my day job, I’m a marketer. That means listening carefully to and observing customers, and using that knowledge to devise relevant solutions. As a photographer, I actually do the same thing, with the difference that I mainly listen closely to myself.

Photography is a way of telling a story. Captured in the perfect still image. A good photograph takes you in your mind’s eye to a special place in the world, an event that makes you smile or sets your creative mind at work. And because this is very personal, the same photograph evokes a unique experience and feeling in everyone – both the photographer and the viewer.

My portfolio contains photographs of a wide variety of subjects. You can find my full portfolio in my shop at Werk aan de Muur and on my website www.jeroenberendse.nl.
