entry description
The Isle of Skye is a land removed from the ordinary, where shadows and sun paint the drama on the lands and seas, changeable by the blink of an eye. The island seems haunted and blessed in equal measures. Monochrome brings out the darkness and contrasts of its ancient shores. Colour does justice to the amazing spectacle of sun-kissed sceneryabout the photographer
