Joe Shutter Shares Photos From His Silent Arctic Photographic Expedition

Dramatic frosty shots by Joe Shutter, a talented British-Brazilian photographer, and adventurer now based in Reykjavik, Iceland. Joe captured some royal sceneries of Greenland on his photograph expedition.

“This is nothing short of a full-scale journey in Northeast Greenland via electric boat along and into the world’s biggest fjord system, some of which are almost 150 miles in length”, he says.

Shutter is recognized for his arctic landscape and wildlife in a number of the most remote places on the planet.

“In certain view, the light from Iceland can change within the second. And therefore it was that one glorious day some time ago; I traded In the blandness of the London lifetime (wonderful though it is) to get a lifetime Of multi-directional wind & rain, long blue light, midnight sun, highlands, mountains, volcanos, icebergs and canyons and waterfalls. These will be the sub-Arctic conditions where I thrive and Where I get the inspiration I need, to push (literally and Figuratively) a life of experience in Iceland. The vehicle of choice for My experiences is my Land Rover Defender: The Landy. The Beast. My steel Horse.”

A Japanese photographer Captures the Beauty of Frozen Bubble Formations in the New Series

Japanese photographer Ryota Kajita has seized the odd ice patterns of Alaska‘s interior swamps and ponds for the last eight years as part of the Ice Formations collection. The temporary structures look like fanciful desserts found from the wild, with suspended shavings lightly dusting the formations’ edges.

“Photography enables me to look closely at those minutes and subjects, take the time to observe them and assist me to know my surroundings more intimately,” Ryota informs Colossal. “Through photos, nature shows its subtle beauty. From the Ice Formations series, I hope to discuss these transient and small creations of nature with other people.”

Images from the exhibition are included in a group exhibition at the Mt. Rokko Photographeric Garden through July 30, 2018. You may view more of the Alaska-based photographer‘s explorations on Facebook and Instagram.

Frozen Landscapes of Germany’s Winter by Kilian Schönberger

German photographer Kilian Schönberger is notorious for capturing otherworldly images of their natural environment. Schönberger clarifies the mysterious quality of his Winter‘s Tale series in the mountain ranges of Germany: “Winter was the time when stories and legends have been told in the home, the whole family sitting around the tiled stove. The mysterious figures are only waiting in front of the doorstep, freeze and snow seem to create trees alive.”

The photographer shares with Colossal that harsh conditions are part of the game when shooting outside during the winter. Schönberger treks in with snowshoes or cross-country skis, and sometimes waits two hours or more in frigid temperatures for the right shot while battling shortened battery life and fickle sunlight that is needed to illuminate a scene without melting the delicate frost. In addition to his Behance portfolio, you can see more of Schönberger’s work on his website and Instagram.

Sweden’s ICEHOTEL Invited 36 Artists from 17 Countries to Design Its Icy Interior

Located in the small village of Jukkasjärvi 200 km north of the Arctic Circle, Sweden’s ICEHOTEL is the world’s largest ice structure, assembled every year from over 4000 tonnes of ice and snow.

With winter now formally underway in the Northern Hemisphere, the 2017-2018 version of this ICEHOTEL is now open. In addition to a brand new permanent segment of the hotel kept cool year around by solar power, for this year’s iteration, the resort invited 36 artists from 17 countries to design the structure’s major spaces and guest rooms, including new surreal “art suites” that genuinely transport visitors in an otherworldly winter wonderland.
