“It is a land full of brightness and sharp contrasts. There is a freshness in the air, there is warmth, there is a parade of colour and activity on the seas from yachts, windsurfers to the beauty of bird forms. It is a land I truly love and I am passionate about capturing its bright, fresh spirit”.
