Seascape nominee

With my tripod set up at the edge of the cliffs, I watched the waves tirelessly crash against the rocks. Through the long exposure, this constant, rugged sea transformed into a smooth, almost silky surface. The movement that is usually so powerful turned into a quiet, flowing expanse, making the contrast with the harsh landscape even more striking.

Mona Moraht, born in Hamburg, started photographing already at school using her father’s medium format camera. She bought her first SLR camera in 1998 – still analogue at the time. Meanwhile, the Canon 5D Mark IV is her permanent companion. Since 2016, photography of abandoned places takes her all across Europe. Furthermore, architecture, landscape, and nature photography are her preferred domains. Several of her works have won awards at national and international competitions (see the following link: https://mona-moraht-photography.de/awards). Moraht is a member of the German Photographic Association (DVF) (https://www.dvf-fotografie.de), the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP), Luxembourg (https://www.fiap.net) and the Photographic Society of America (PSA), USA (https://psa-photo.org). She has been awarded the „EFIAP/s“ of the FIAP and the „PPSA“ of the PSA. Moraht lives and works in Berlin.
