Piece description from the artist
Location: Anglin's Fishing Pier – Fort Lauderdale, Florida – 2017
When I arrived, I noticed roughly 30 photographers shooting from the north side of the pier – so I decided to go to the south side and catch the sunrise with Anglin's Fishing Pier in front of it. I saw only two other photographers on the south side of the pier. So with the camera ready in hand, I got as close as possible to the waves without getting wet and laid down on the ground for the photo. While composing, a lady walked in front of the sun and created a silhouette. So once I felt right about the background and foreground, I secured several photos.
To convey what I felt on this warm and windy morning, I slightly elevated this image's vibrance and saturation. I also darkened the silhouetted pier and its people to create more contrast.
Fervid: "Showing an intense feeling," fervid suggests warmly, spontaneously, and often feverishly expressed emotion.
Santos "Sanzei" López is a fine art photographer for whom the camera is the culmination of a lifelong visual journey. His artistic practice was ignited in childhood with a simple 35mm film camera, a gift from his mother, who became his first subject and instilled in him the belief that photography could capture profound joy and connection.
This foundation evolved through decades of work as a graphic artist and graffiti writer, disciplines that permanently shaped his eye for composition, bold geometry, and layered texture. In 2015, he made a definitive commitment to photography, channeling this multidisciplinary vision into a focused pursuit of the definitive image.
Sanzei’s work transforms the contrasting landscapes of South Florida’s coasts and the Pacific Northwest into contemplative art. He approaches beaches, cityscapes, and mountain vistas as complex graphic arrangements, seeking the precise interplay of light, shadow, and form that transcends documentation to evoke feeling and narrative. His fine art pieces are featured on leading platforms like TurningArt.
