In the spectacular, sublime photos of Dani Guidoheavy clouds and mercury pools glow amid an Icelandic landscape. The Spanish artist, based in Reykjavík, searches for unique relationships between light, form and atmosphere. In Iceland, the vicissitudes of the weather and the stark, glacial landscape continually arouse his interests.
Guindo typically uses drones to capture a wide range of angles, from panoramas of glaciers and mountains to vertical shots of briny streams that seem almost abstract. His latest series, Endpointcaptures a glacier’s many streams amid a rocky landscape, along with a ghostly, circular outline that reveals evidence of the glacier’s earlier stages.
The glacier is Múlajökullwhich falls into a category scientists call a “surge type,” in which periods of ice flow alternate with periods of inactivity or retreat. A semi-circular pattern of drumlins – hills formed beneath flowing glaciers – is filled with a number of lakes with water in a range of blue-green shades.
“Múlajökull is a very isolated glacial outlet, surrounded by a chaotic maze of rivers and swamps, making it almost impossible to reach the glacier on foot,” Guindo said in a statement. “With the right wind conditions, I was able to fly my drone close to the glacier, capturing some of my favorite photos to date.”
