Squares
DESCRIPTION
From above, Hutt Lagoon transforms into an abstract canvas - channels divide the frame into four squares, each glowing with shades from orange to deep pink. Algae rich in beta-carotene, along with salt flats, shape these surreal hues. A natural scene that feels painted, not photographed. AUTHOR
I am a passionate aerial photographer from Germany. As a dermatologist, a lot of my day-to-day work revolves around recognizing patterns of skin diseases and being able to classify them. My drone photographs pick up on this aspect by discovering patterns, structures and colors in nature.
