Piece description from the artist
In the arctic Norwegian winter, many landscapes are dominated by this blue-grey gradient and everything you see and do is dictated by the weather.
Shooting on the Lofoten Archipelago in Norway means battling the elements. I tried to capture all of that in this composition while I steadied myself against a nearby wall, fighting below-freezing temperatures and wind that cuts through even the thickest layers of down. The clouds seemed to merge seamless with the tops of the fjords, creating a liminal boundary between the land and the sky. The ocean’s pleasant blue belied the roaring ferocity of the white-capped waves. The experience of Norway summed up in a single image.
Skagsanden, Lofoten, Norway
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.
