Night Reflection Ten by Kim Henry & Eric Pare

Description

Winterland. This chapter is the coldest of them all. It is a testimony of us trying to push ourselves to create things we didn’t think we would be able to. Winter can be a symbol of isolation, solitude, harshness and dormancy, but also sublime beauty, magic and resilience. While others would normally get warm inside during long winter nights, we decided to explore and create. Creating in the cold is a whole different type of experience & brings particular challenges. More than ever we need to rely on our years of experience and our preparation to make quick decisions and create the best images we can with the minutes we have at hand. Time is limited not by the usual constraints of the blue hour, but mostly by cold temperature and the limitations it imposes on our bodies & minds. Needless to say that losing dexterity when manipulating small objects is a real challenge. Nonetheless, that whole process stimulates us to get stronger, more adaptable both physically & psychologically. Snow changes the landscape and our ability to access it. We rarely shoot in the forest, usually seeking places where we can see the sky and the infinity. The forest in winter presents a few challenges and difficulties in terms of composition. The environment is busy with a lot of elements to consider, and we can hardly make adjustments as moving means we leave huge traces in the snowscape. Not to mention that it’s a race against the clock to make choices as we don’t have much time to reflect when it’s freezing cold and windy.
