Peaks of Shadow

Piece description from the artist

In Italy, the Dolomites thrust into the sky, carved by time and weather. This piece captures their stark strength. The ridges cut into the sky with a sylvan blanket of shadows below the rough peaks.

Clouds draped heavy that day with little, but promising light breaking through. I wanted to emphasize the textures in this scene. Jagged stone. Dark timber. A place shaped by time, and enduring it.

About Scott Wurzel

Arlington, VA

Currently located in Washington, DC, Scott is a native Floridian photographer specializing in landscape photography. His work explores the interplay of light and dark — rejecting the notion that photography is just “painting with light.” He seeks what resides in the contrast — the liminal spaces of the world.

Scott has shot in some of the most beautiful locations in the world, including Iceland and locations throughout the Old World. But some of his most inspiring locations are right at home in America's enchanting National Parks.
