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. Before Spring, the last snowstorm. When we thought winter was almost over, it had a surprise for us. Like it often does. The cold season can seem pretty long where we live. We were not supposed to go out that night. We assumed that our winter shooting season was over. But once again, we kicked our butts to try one more time, as it was our last chance of the year to capture the wintry landscape. It was one of the hardest shootings we did of the winter, and we ended up creating an image we are very proud of. Once again, it was worth it.
