Description

“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” — T.S. Eliot It's been a while since my last experiment. In this work, it's not that I tried something completely new. Yes, I had new gear with me - for the first time I used the Laowa 10mm (the widest I ever had). Yes, the post-processing took a slightly different turn. But my approach was entirely new. I wanted to push myself out of the comfort zone, setting the light in a way I've never done before. The abstract chaos you see here isn't something that usually appears in my works. Now for the story. This was taken in Thailand, on one of the few days I managed to go out and shoot. My wife joined me, and while I searched for a spot, she simply enjoyed the calm mood of the shore. Eventually, we came across a small island, surrounded by roots and a single tree standing tall. I set up my tripod and waited for the sunset. Then the water started rising. It came in fast, frighteningly fast. But it wouldn't be me if I let the possibility of sitting in water prevent me away from getting the perfect shot. In the end, it was exactly this sense of being swallowed by the sea, that gave the image its pulse. August 08, 2025, Phuket, Thailand - Alexander Seleznyov
