Iceberg Fine Art Photography Prints
Two iceberg images from Scoresby Sund, on the east coast of Greenland — one of the few places on Earth where icebergs of this scale can be photographed from open water on a small vessel. The icebergs of Scoresby Sund calve directly from the Greenland ice sheet, and the largest of them dwarf the more familiar Antarctic and North Atlantic imagery. Scale, in person, is difficult to believe; in a frame, it requires the right light to register at all. Both images work with the ice itself as subject rather than as backdrop. The Ice Mirror is a black-and-white frame that collapses the iceberg and its water-line reflection into a single geometric shape. Fire and Ice is a sunset frame — last light across the sandstone cliffs of the fjord, amber on the water, the expedition zodiac's wake as the only human trace. Both have been published in Canadian Photography (CAPA) Magazine.
Fire and Ice
At sunset, the last light caught the red sandstone cliffs and threw a deep amber glow across the sea. The wake of our expedition vessel carved a path of rippled gold leading straight to that arched iceberg in the distance. Fire reflected in ice.
The Ice Mirror
East coast of Greenland is home to some of the largest icebergs outside Antarctica. On our expedition through this remote fjord system, we encountered several of extraordinary scale. What makes this image is the reflection — not on open water, but on thin sheets of floating ice. Black and white was a deliberate choice: stripping the colour away forces the eye to reckon with the scale.
