Fullmoon@Orkney

Captured during the ethereal light of a full moon over the remote Orkney Islands of Scotland, this large-scale chromogenic print transforms the rugged northern landscape into an otherworldly, luminous scene. Almond's signature long-exposure technique bathes the ancient terrain in a cool, silvery glow, rendering the darkness with an uncanny clarity that the naked eye could never perceive. Flush-mounted to aluminium, the work possesses a sleek, luminous quality that enhances the almost supernatural stillness of the image.
