Heart and soul
Using a monochrome palette, simplified compositions and often long exposure to slow down the passing of time and isolate elements within the frame, her images eradicate the superfluous, creating an interval of time and space which the viewer can fill with their own meaning.

entry description
The Icelandic horse arrived in Iceland with the Vikings over a thousand years ago and has been celebrated in literature, poetry and mythology ever since. They are indomitable, strong, spirited, intelligent, inquisitive, adaptable, hardy, patient and independent. But the characteristic that stood out for me above all others as I travelled in the remote north of Iceland was their friendliness and gentleness. It's easy to see why the Icelandic horse holds a special place in the hearts and souls of its people.about the photographer
Lisa Katsiaris was born and raised in the south of England but travels frequently to produce fine art images that reflect the tranquil and often fragile beauty of the places she seeks out. The common threads that run through her work are a feeling of serenity and introspection, an ability to see beauty in the often ordinary and imperfect, and a desire to capture her emotional response to, rather than a literal representation of, the world around her.Using a monochrome palette, simplified compositions and often long exposure to slow down the passing of time and isolate elements within the frame, her images eradicate the superfluous, creating an interval of time and space which the viewer can fill with their own meaning.
