Joy amidst the frozen stillness.
Hourglass Flight captures the exuberant synchronized breach of two Hourglass Dolphins in the Lemaire Channel. The stark black-and-white patterning of these cold-water cetaceans contrasts beautifully with the soft, misty backdrop of ice and mountain, bringing a dynamic pulse of life to Coastal Homes and Active Spaces.
From Lens to Code
The Hourglass Dolphin is a creature of speed and contrast, rarely seen still. With Hourglass Flight, I wanted to freeze that split-second of synchronized energy against the static grandeur of the Antarctic peninsula. By guiding the algorithm to balance the sharp detail of the dolphins against the painterly blur of the icebergs, I created an image that celebrates the vibrant life thriving in the world's coldest ocean.
