This was a shot I took look up through the centre of an electricity pylon in the Sussex countryside. I decided to tilt the view so that the cables supported by the pylon run from bottom right to top left. I did some post production work to enhance the clouds.

Rain-soaked from relentless Atlantic waves, I aimed my lens down the iconic seawall to catch a tourist celebrating the surge’s triumphant crash. Under Havana’s twilight, the Malecon becomes a stage where human exuberance meets raw ocean force, each droplet glinting like suspended jewels. In capturing this split-second interplay, I learned that art sometimes demands we step into the splash zone—shirt drenched and shutter humming.

Here on the shore, we suffer for our art, discovering that the best moments are worth every salty drop.

he never touched the sky — yet somehow, his shadow did. launched into an abstract burst of limbs and light, this is the purest moment of becoming. somewhere between gravity and rebellion, he disappeared into form, and reemerged as movement.

A swirling celebration fills the stadium as thousands gather in golden unity, the night sky erupting in a burst of fireworks above a field transformed by triumph and emotion. This circular perspective turns the crowd into a living constellation orbiting victory itself.

Fun fact: The world’s first recorded fireworks display dates back over a thousand years to ancient China, where they were believed to ward off evil spirits—tonight, they simply amplify pure joy.

This image captures the serene beauty of Sable Falls, located along the North Country Trail in Grand Marais, Michigan. The photograph, taken just before noon, bathes in the gentle embrace of late spring sunlight, illuminating the cascading waters with a celestial glow. The waterfall's frothy descent over the layered sandstone reflects the geological history of the region, shaped over millennia by glacial activity and erosion.

The verdant surroundings are typical of the Upper Peninsula's rich ecosystems, with lush coniferous trees framing the falls. The interplay of light and shadow on the foliage adds depth and texture to the scene, while the crisp air of a mild day, with temperatures reaching a comfortable 77°F, enhances the mood of tranquility. The soft, blurred motion of the water contrasts with the sharp detail of the rocky ledges, creating a dynamic tension that invites contemplation.

Sable Falls is part of a landscape shaped by the ancient forces of nature, where sandstone cliffs and dense forests meet to form a tapestry of natural wonder. The surrounding area features a mix of pine, spruce, and cedar trees, contributing to the cool, shaded pathways that guide visitors through this enchanting locale. As the falls continue their timeless journey, they carve a path through the rugged terrain, a testament to the enduring power and beauty of the natural world.

Woman with striking red hair and bold makeup poses against a dramatic background under soft lighting

A woman with vibrant red hair and bold makeup stands confidently in a black and red outfit. Her striking features and the artistic background create a captivating scene.

"She Stands in the Circle"

The room bends toward her.

Not in fear.

Not in worship.

But in recognition—

as if it has been waiting for her

since the first brushstroke of its creation.

Her hair is a river of fire,

pouring over her shoulders,

catching the soft light

and turning it into something alive.

Black and red cling to her frame

like they were made for no one else—

armor and invitation,

danger and desire,

stitched into the same breath.

Behind her, the great circle rises—

moon, halo, omen—

its texture whispering of storms

and the quiet after.

She does not pose.

She occupies.

She does not smile.

She commands.

Every detail—

the cut of her jacket,

the red at her lips,

the stillness in her gaze—

is a sentence in a language

only the bold can speak.

And in that language,

she says without sound:

_I am here.

I am whole.

I am the art you came to see._

A hot August afternoon casts a shimmering haze across the Forth Rail Bridge as two trains rush past each other, one northbound, one southbound, in a moment suspended over steel and stone. Their movement unsettles a swirl of crows and rooks, rising from the ancient masonry and red latticework above.

Captured from the Fife side, the heat distortion bends the distant locomotive into a wavering mirage while the lead train pushes forward with bright headlights and determined pace. The lines, the light, and the rhythm of the crossing come together in a fleeting slice of summer atmosphere, a meeting of engineering and motion held in a single frame.

A very dynamic morning landscape with abundant cloud sea covering land and mountains, and sun ray shining through the fog and forest.
