Piece description from the artist
Location: Anglin's Fishing Pier – Fort Lauderdale, Florida – 2017
As I arrived at the scene, I couldn't help but notice a congregation of roughly 30 photographers capturing the unfolding sunrise from the north side of Anglin's Fishing Pier. So, I deliberately walked towards the south side, aiming to frame the magnificent sunrise with the imposing pier in the foreground. There, I found myself in the company of just two other photographers.
Camera in hand, I ventured as close to the waves as I dared, gracefully avoiding their watery embrace. My commitment to the shot led me to lay flat on the ground, seeking to immerse myself fully in the scene. It was the relentless crashing of the waves that I wished to emphasize, a powerful and chaotic force that held the key to creating this dramatic image.
In post-processing, I enhanced the vibrance and saturation ever so slightly, a subtle homage to the warm and windy morning's vibrancy. To accentuate the contrast within the frame, I chose to darken the silhouetted pier and its occupants, as they became mere shadows against the burgeoning light of dawn. I attempt to convey the intricate interplay between serenity and chaos, each coexisting in harmonious disarray.
