Part of Haker’s maritime series focusing on life in the Mediterranean, this photograph of mooring posts looks out to a calm sea and marshes beyond. Taken from the vantage of the boat, the mooring posts seem to almost float in midair as the Haker expertly captures the tranquillity of the sea through a long-exposure.
A meditation on light giving life, this image shows the hand of radical digital remastering to present an abstracted conception of nature.
