Simon Butterworth - Blue Fields
Photographer Simon Butterworth has beautifully captured the Useless Loop solar salt operation in Shark Bay, Australia to create a stunning aerial photography series entitled Blue Fields. The images, which could be mistaken for oil paintings, are part of a larger, long-term project, Aesthetics of the Unexpected, where Butterworth explores the relationships between perception, expectation and reality.
Shot from a light aircraft, flying at roughly 5,000 feet, Butterworth said: “The height was crucial in order to flatten perspective by using long focal lengths. Time of day and cloud cover were also critical, the abstract effect being heightened by complete lack of signifying shadow.” [Creative Boom]
