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.”

Jan Erik Waider’ Photos Capture the Dark Beauty of Icebergs in Greenland

Inside his work, landscape photographer Jan Erik Waider explores the”raw stillness of the Nordic nations.” Last year, we had been amazed by his gorgeous shots of Greenland‘s glacial landscapes. Now, Waider continues to captivate with Beyond No Man’s Land, a series that dives deeper into his creative interest in the Arctic.

Beyond No Man’s Land showcases the diverse beauty of icebergs in Disko Bay, a body of water near the Ilulissat Icefjord in western Greenland. Isolated and seemingly illuminated, the glowing white stripes contrast the dark waters and ominous skies. Each of the icebergs is extremely unique in shape, showing Waider’s innate fascination in catching their natural silhouettes.

What’s the secret behind his stunning shots? In addition to his evident mastery of makeup and eye for subject matter, Waider has developed tools that help enhance the atmospheric nature of his photographs. “Over the last five years I have created my private group of Adobe Lightroom presets for my own landscape and travel photographs were taken in Nordic countries such as Iceland, Norway or the Faroe Islands,” he informs My Modern Met. “I refined the presets over and over again, so they not only deliver unique outcomes but also work for a wide range of landscapes and light situations.”

If you’d like to emulate Waider’s aesthetic, then you can purchase these eye-catching presets on his website.
