Water Moods by Alex Axon

I started Water Moods project as a mirror to Urban Moods, only this time with a specific thing in mind - to use long exposures to create feelings of tranquility, where you can get an extra breath every time you watch the photos.

I started Water Moods project  as a mirror to Urban Moods, only this time with a specific thing in mind – to use long exposures to create feelings of tranquility, where you can get an extra breath every time you watch the photos.

Unlike earth, for me, water has the particularity of not being there for us to disturb. One single step too close and the serenity of what you can capture is gone, never to return again. I was always alone when I took these photos, most of them after long contemplating the place and I used the setting as an environment for me to mirror myself in it. [Official Website]
