"Dancing dunes"
At a first glance, Gran Canaria’s dunes appear motionless, yet a fascinating secret lies within. Constantly shaped and reshaped by the wind, these seemingly still sands wander in a graceful dance. I couldn’t help but draw parallels to the dynamic ocean waves shaped by the same wind. Through careful composition, I aimed to recreate the ocean’s dynamism using the dunes’ shapes and sand textures. Discover the mesmerizing motion hidden within these sands, revealing nature’s remarkable dynamism.
I chose to shoot handheld with a longer focal length to bring in a very subtle motion blur as we would get from shooting these fast moving waves in the ocean.
