With this book by the photographer and senior reporter Olivier Joly It takes us to a melancholic Iceland of raw beauty. This book, composed of black and white photographs, immerses us in isolated places, in a glacial, polar, solar tundra, full of mystery.
After working as a sports journalist, Olivier Joly decided to change his life and dedicate himself to travel. He discovered Iceland and its vast landscapes that inspire silence and invite contemplation. The artist feels connected to this "unvarnished" island and its "vibrant" inhabitants.
A sensory work in which each image evokes an emotion intensified by a perfectly mastered use of black and white. "It's a world that keeps my senses alert and makes me feel more alive than anywhere else.", he said. Behind each of his shots, one can perceive the hours of waiting, the solitude, the vibrations, the emotions felt before capturing the organic beauty that emerges before the photographer's eye.
A book that soothes troubled souls.
