#iceland #vik #photography #stunday
A solitary white church with a red roof and steeple stands on a dark hillside beneath dramatic, moody skies in Vík, Iceland. A single bird soars above as mist and low clouds partially obscure the surrounding mountains, with a hint of red and blue light breaking through the stormy atmosphere

A father sits by his child’s hospital bed. The child rests with an eye patch, The man looks straight at the camera — strong, weary, and unmoved by pity. It’s a portrait of endurance in the face of pain. A young girl in Bangladesh sits in deep shadow, her face softly lit with quiet emotion. Behind her, a boy peers through metal bars, his eyes searching. The light and framing evoke a feeling of separation, longing, and quiet resilience Three figures sit together — two men, one with a child asleep on his lap, the other resting back with a calm gaze. A fourth child leans forward, deep in thought. The image is rich with unspoken bonds, fatigue, and waiting. A man holds his young daughter close, their bodies framed by a fading patch of light. He looks into the lens with steady presence, while the girl nestles into him, eyes lowered. The moment feels protective and tender.

I’ve chased likes and polite nods at pretty landscapes. Truth is, I don’t like most of what I do. Portraits are different — raw, human, unpredictable. They won’t trend, but I tell my kids: do what you love, explore, no regrets. So… here goes.

An elderly Ethiopian Priest stands against a bare wall, draped in dark robes and holding a cross. The light falls softly across his face, revealing depth, history, and quiet dignity in the stillness of his presence A Tanzanian girl in a patterned dress sits upright on a wooden bench, hands gently clasped. The room is stark, the light focused, isolating her in a moment of stillness. Her gaze is calm but carries the weight of silence. A boy stands beneath an eye chart, cast in soft shadow. Light pours through a barred window beside him where a young girl looks in, her expression quiet and curious. The scene feels like a moment between worlds. Two women sit side by side, one gazing away in thought, the other with a faint smile, hand resting under her chin. A triangle of bright light on the wall casts long shadows, giving the scene both tension and intimacy.

Black and white infrared photograph of Aït-Benhaddou, a historic fortified village in Morocco. The image shows the ancient kasbah structures clustered on a hilltop, crowned by a solitary tower. A single small cloud floats above the scene in an otherwise dark and expansive sky, creating a sense of solitude and stillness. The surrounding palm groves and vegetation appear white due to infrared capture, giving the landscape an ethereal, dreamlike quality. This location was famously used in Game of Thrones.

#patagonia #chile #photography
This photo is a dramatic, dark, and moody black-and-white landscape of Torres del Paine’s jagged mountain peaks, shrouded in swirling, ominous clouds. The sharp, imposing silhouettes of the mountains contrast starkly against the eerie, blurred sky, which looks almost like smoke or spectral mist. In the foreground, a lone figure stands, dwarfed by the immense, hostile terrain. The person appears to be facing the towering peaks, evoking a sense of confrontation or defiance against overwhelming forces. The atmosphere is bleak, cold, and hauntingly beautiful, capturing the insignificance of man against nature’s relentless power.

This image shows a Quiver Tree (Aloe dichotoma) standing prominently against a dark, star-filled night sky in Namibia. The tree’s twisted branches reach upward, adorned with sparse, spiky leaves illuminated by soft light, creating an ethereal contrast against the deep blue and black sky. The Milky Way stretches across the sky, its glowing bands of stars and dust clouds beautifully framing the scene. Silhouetted Quiver Trees dot the landscape in the background, adding depth to the composition. The overall mood of the image is mystical and otherworldly, capturing the natural beauty of the Namibian desert.

ying yang

#iceland #photography #infrared #yingyang
The photograph, titled Yin Yang, is a striking black and white infrared image taken in Iceland. It features two Icelandic horses standing side by side in a vast, open landscape with a dramatic mountain range in the background. One horse is light-colored, almost white, while the other is dark, nearly black, symbolizing the balance of opposites—hence the Yin Yang title. The background showcases Iceland’s rugged, snow-capped mountains, their peaks appearing almost ethereal due to the infrared effect, which enhances contrast and highlights textures. The sky above is layered with heavy, dark clouds, adding to the moody, atmospheric feel of the scene. The landscape beneath the horses is dark, creating a stark contrast with the luminous tones of the mountains. Infrared photography gives the image a surreal quality, making the lighter elements—such as the white horse and parts of the mountains—appear to glow, while the darker elements, like the ground and the black horse, recede into shadow. This contrast enhances the sense of balance and harmony, reinforcing the symbolism of yin and yang. The two horses, positioned closely together yet facing opposite directions, add an emotional depth to the image, suggesting companionship and duality in nature. The photo captures the raw, otherworldly beauty of Iceland, transforming the landscape into something both mystical and timeless.
