Piece description from the artist
Last year I began hanging out with some seasoned photographers that eventually became friends. They invited me to the Old Pilings in Naples Florida. On the drive from Fort Lauderdale to Naples, it began raining so hard that we could barely see the road. It seemed like our photoshoot attempt would be a wash but as most Landscape photographers do you still take the chance, so we did. When we arrive the sky was grey and no sun there was no sun in sight for a sunset. Regardless we began setting up just in case. The Old Pilings were indeed interesting to capture as some had mentioned. As I moved around for a composition the sun broke free through the clouds and the most amazing surreal lights took over the sky. Up to this moment, this was by far the most magnificent sunset I experienced as the Pelicans began to artistically maneuver within the lights.
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.
