Landscape 2nd Place

In 2021, Lithuania once again experienced a winter of heavy snowfalls - a result of the climate crisis and global warming. Depicted in these photographs are sustainable energy sources such as dams, wind turbines and solar batteries - the very things we need in order to slow down the occurrences of climate disasters. Two of the three main elements of Solar Graphics – seasonality and sustainable energy – organically and purposefully complement each other. Winter’s monochromatic palette helps reveal the graphic elements found in the white snow. As the land is disrupted by dark lines new images appear – a mouth full of dazzling white teeth or a robot with a surprised look on its face. The high vantage point reduces the landscape to abstraction allowing the viewer to find new meanings and interpretations in the photograph.

I started taking professional photos while working as a forester.I later worked as a photojournalist for a daily newspaper.I have always been fascinated by photography from above.After becoming a member of"Feel the Power of Flight",I tried bungee jumping,parachuting,flying, and racing.The drones provided unlimited opportunities to photograph from above.
