Towering Devil

2009

Throughout 2019 and 2020 I spent much of my time in the trenches of a long form assignment for National Geographic Magazine documenting the Great Lakes of North America. This jewel of the planet contains 20% of the worlds fresh water and is home to an annual 6 trillion dollar economy shared by the United States and Canada. On this this particular day I was positioned on the south west shores of Lake Superior, it was stormy and dully gray, the kind that makes you think twice about being out. Thinking photography was likely a foregone conclusion I had decided to scout the periphery of a section of shore line, the waves were crashing in under threatening skies. As I pushed further in a came upon a small pond covered in beautiful lilies that stopped me in my tracks. The car was a good distance away, with the help of my assistant I decided to hike back to the car and grab the under water housing and lights.

Thankfully no one was injured as the tornado left behind trenched scars across the sage plains along the Texas / Mexico border.

'Towards Your Heart' Limited edition archival photographic triptych. Unframed, hand signed and numbered (Edition number 3 of 25) _________________ It is not the size Nor power from which you fly But towards your heart The wild Atlantic explodes in raw abandon, given scale in this daring dance by the graceful flight of the sea bird. Sophia's poetic photographs are an exploration of the balance in all things: in the sensual interplay of light and shadow; in wild raw energy and serene stillness; in chaos and harmony; in the enduring and the effervescent. They are a contemplation of the awareness that everything in existence is temporary, they speak of the ephemeral nature of all things. Moments, feelings, experiences cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where the beauty comes from. 'I work in a balancing act of control and freedom; of discipline and guidance, whilst simultaneously relinquishing all authority and throwing the odds to the winds, to chance encounters and the unexpected'.
