Eons.
a unit of geologic time equal to one billion years.
These images were shot on a recent hike in a nature reserve on a very isolated stretch of coastline. Because this piece of earth has stayed untouched for years (eons), it has a very ancient, almost jurassic quality to it. This series is focused on rock formations. For the entire hike you are dwarfed by a massive yellow sand stone cliff that has been carved and shaped by the elements for eons, creating mesmerising textures. Instead of showing the yellow colour of the stone, I decided to process the images as black & white. The idea was to really brining out the textures and the shapes of these cliffs by cropping each shot to create an abstract interpretation of this natural phenomenon.
If you would be interested to buy any of the images, please download the catalog here.
Please enjoy
eons.
