Seascape nominee

This collection of photographs was taken on the stunningly beautiful Maldivian island known as South Ari Atoll. Some experts say that the Maldives could disappear in 20-30 years due to the rise in global sea levels. It's important to me that we record the beauty of these pockets of paradise, not just with point and shoot holiday snaps, but documenting the elegance with long exposure to offer future generations a new aesthetic. These long exposure photographs look deeper into the soul of the islands and signifies the time that is passing before our eyes before the loss of a planetary paradise.

Anthony has been heavily inspired by clean design, simple landscape compositions, serene ethereal photography, symmetry and balance. So, it always made sense to him that when compiling a photographic composition, the image should be simplistic and uncluttered. “I’ve always tried to incorporate stillness, seclusion and silence in my work and these elements reflect back at the viewer, drawing your interest deeper into the soul.” He has in infatuation with water, so you will see this appearing in a lot of his photographs.
