This collection of photographs was taken on the stunningly beautiful Maldivian island known as South Ari Atoll. Some experts say that the Maldives could disappear in 20-30 years due to the rise in global sea levels. It's important to me that we record the beauty of these pockets of paradise, not just with point and shoot holiday snaps, but documenting the elegance with long exposure to offer future generations a new aesthetic. These long exposure photographs look deeper into the soul of the islands and signifies the time that is passing before our eyes before the unimaginable loss of a planetary paradise.

About author:

I've always liked clean design, minimal modern art, simple compositions in landscape paintings, symmetry and balance. It always made sense to me that when composing a photograph, the image should be simplistic and uncluttered. This minimal style reflects a calm sense of mood which is my overall intention. I've always been more interested in shooting less recognisable locations as it adds more intrigue to the photograph, I'm also drawn to water, so you will see this appearing in much of my work. Beaches, lakes, oceans; they all hold photographic opportunities due to the changing reflective light, the movement and mood that water can produce with long exposures and the right conditions. I’ve visited places across the world such as Australia, USA, South Africa, UK, France, India, Italy, Greece, Jordan and Dubai where I currently reside. Each of these locations has influenced the evolution of my photographic style.
