Photography has been a powerful tool for artists to showcase their passion for visual art. For landscape lovers, it is through photography that they can express their ingenuity and creativity. Put these two together, it will be a wonderful way of appreciating Mother Nature in a more imaginative and artistic manner.

A recent trip to Iceland gave me the opportunity to capture beautiful sceneries of Svinaefellsjokull Glacier. Iceland bears a frost-molded landscape with tremendously low temperatures. Yet, this place has been given a beautiful and diverse ecosystem and national resources unique to this remote place in the world. Gigantic glaciers, beautiful waterfalls and Northern Lights along with the geysers make Iceland an ideal place for a photographer like me.

This fine art image included more than what the eye can see from a natural point of view. The view is almost unobstructed as it showcased a vaster area of the Svinaefellsjokull Glacier. Take a look at this image and you will be awed by the details and texture of the subjects. The glacial mountain and the blanket of white snow appeared so surreal.

This wide format type of photography is quite impressive once it is done accurately. The stunning images captured are perfect for adding style and artistry in a living room, bedroom or even an office lobby.

Photography captures both the literal and the abstract beauty of things. A photo shoot amidst a brutally cold environment in Iceland can be a challenge. There can be limited possibilities of capturing interesting landscape photos as the place might look barren and cold. However, being able to capture the exceptional and hidden beauty of what Iceland has to offer can be a perfect opportunity for photographers to explore their own level of creativity. The picture above was taken during a walk near Svinaefellsjokull Glacier in Iceland.

This image is an abstract photograph as it does not represent the subject in an obvious and literal way. It communicates chiefly through the repetition of colors, forms, lines and curves rather than the details of the image itself. What you actually see is a piece of the glacial surface that caught my attention during my visit.  The image appears to have a marble-like surface. If you look into the minute details on the lower part of the image, it appears to be a smudged part of a watercolor painting. This image emulates the essentials in abstract photography: color, form and curves. These elements form distinctive human reactions like melancholy, sadness and confusion.

This is a beautiful visual art as it plays with the human side of creativity and imagination. It will be nice to have a fine art print of this masterpiece to generate a sense of artistry in a home or office space.
