URI GOLMAN – Ice 1

Description

“From beautiful glaciers to the ever changing landscape of the icebergs in Illulissat Icefjord, Greenland. The ice has become a constant source of inspiration for me and something that I look forward to photograph every time i return to a place where ice is found. Each time is something different. The light, time of year and the colors of the ice itself makes for new images and new inspiration. I have spent many days camping near large glaciers or sailing amongst the icebergs waiting for the light and atmosphere to become just right. I know each click of the camera catches only a glimpse of a world in constant change and that tomorrow the same place will be very different.”

Uri Golman, born 1974, is one of the most distinguished Danish nature photographers. He is internationally known and renowned for his images from the Arctic nature, but has in recent years also been involved with other exotic parts of the world.
”There is something magnetic about the far north. I have been drawn towards it since I was just a small child. My first chance to visit Greenland in 1999 became a turning point in my life and I just knew I had to dive deeper into this wonderful true wilderness. Since then I have visited the Arctic on many trips and expeditions and nowhere in the world have I found the peace and the solitude that the open tundra plain can offer. The Wildlife is often sparse and far between, but the sheer joy of spotting something after many hours in the field is incomparable. To end the day in a blueberry field enjoying the quiet world, the scent of the arctic flora and dreaming of the here and now is true food for the soul.”
