• Black and white photo of Reynisfjara Beach in Iceland with blurred ocean surf leading toward the Reynisdrangar sea stacks under a dark, moody sky.

Shallows of Poseidon

This black-and-white photograph was made at Reynisfjara Beach on Iceland’s south coast, where the North Atlantic never truly rests. I stood here for over an hour, watching the surf surge forward and retreat again, timing exposures to find the balance between structure and motion as the water pulled the eye toward the jagged sea stacks offshore.

Those spires are the Reynisdrangar, basalt formations shaped by volcanic forces and relentless waves. Stripping the scene of color helped emphasize what it felt like to be there: the weight of the sky, the power of the ocean, and the constant movement that makes it impossible to stay dry for long. I didn’t expect to leave soaked - camera included - but that unpredictability is part of what gives this place its allure.
