The yellowness of the Save River comes from the immense amount of silt it carries - in a certain angle it looks like gold - so at high tide when the fresh blue sea water is coming in and is mixed with the river water. A magical bright green color appears - closer to the sea it changes into turquoise and then into blue. Another aspect is the Save River mangroves forest. Whithin it’s labyrinth of chanel and creeks are numerous islands that appear and disappear with the tides – they form incredibly abstract patterns.The images were taken from a helicopter flying about 2500 meters above the ground.Aerial photography opens up a completely new perspective to the viewer.Through this perspective in combination with abstract landscape motifs and the omission of reference points that suggest the size of the depicted object, the viewer must take time to interact with the image. Ideally, this creates a relationship between the viewer and the image.
I would say my photographic work is very close to painting, and painting with light is photography in the truet sense of word.
