Recently I went back to one of my favorite photographs. Taken in the summer of 2005 in Skagen, Denmark, well before I was considering photography as an important component of a creative professional career, this picture has felt quite special from the very beginning.
Skagen is famous for its incredible, magical northern light but, on that day, after a big storm in the afternoon followed by bright sunshine and clearing skies, the evening palette turned into a spectacular and dramatic mix of dark blues and grays.
I felt so fortunate to capture this image of the harbour and a group of colorful fishing boats bathed in beautiful evening summer light. With more experience under the belt today, for sure I would have sought a variety of viewpoints and compositions. This make this lonely shot even more precious.
Playing with the original picture in Illustrator, I have tuned it into a series of illustrations that stays true to the special light I witnessed on that evening. A reduced color palette creates both harmony and balance between the different boats.
