Plouescat, 2019 ?This image was made shortly before Covid hit the world. I was hunting for sceneries closely related to the photography of Gustave Le Gray. Le Gray was a photographer in the 19th century who described himself as an artist, not just a photographer. Being able to create an image that is so similar in feeling, with the sun breaking through the clouds and the lone sailboat on the horizon, felt like a gift. Gustave Le Gray was also the first to use a form of Photoshopping in his images, using two different negatives, one of the sky and one of the sea, to create one image?
