Naked Glaciers Expedition
The attached Photography Portfolio is a result of my work in France, Switzerland, Italy and the beginning of the Expedition Naked Glaciers on all seven continents. The images were both taken on top of the Glaciers as well as below them. They strongly express the style and atmosphere I will keep working on other continents, with the addition of aerial views. To be able to catch the bare nature of their forms and shapes, the frightening depth of their developing fissures and out of space unbelievable allure. What is essential for me is to convey their power and recent weakness, traveling through the labyrinth of the ice from all possible angles and perspectives, maintaining at the same time the harmony and the color which since some time now (due to human influence) became black and white.
The idea of this Expedition is to cover visually Glaciers on all seven continents. Today I found myself in a place where the Glaciers take all my attention, as I realised that their existence or rather disappearance is essential for our proper survival. With the only difference that I do not need to encourage „models” to strip and express their intimacy, as the humans already made sure that Glaciers are naked. The white ice became black and the notions of blue show the avant-garde which is the body of work, a sign of Hope. The Project is a way to save the beauty and mysticism of the Glaciers before they disappear in the years to come. The power to preserve them from brutality of human actions lays in the images themselves. The goal of the project is to transmit to future generations the beauty of the glaciers, in the wake of current pandemic, appreciation and respect towards nature has proven itself to be even more of a value.
