A Surf of Grey Men by Karthick Saravanan
In the tranquil expanse of Kovalam Beach in Chennai, a novice photographer embarks on a journey of experimentation. Set against the backdrop of the vast seascape, the photographer’s tripod-mounted camera captures the essence of the ocean in a mesmerizing long exposure.
In monochrome tones, the waves take on a timeless quality, their rhythmic dance immortalized in the stillness of the photograph. Amidst the ebb and flow of the tide, scattered objects on the sea’s surface become focal points of intrigue, each telling its own story of journeys undertaken and mysteries untold.
Through the lens of the photographer’s curiosity and newfound skill, Kovalam’s seascape is transformed into a captivating tableau of contrasts—where the relentless motion of the waves meets the serene stillness of captured time, and the monochrome palette lends a sense of timelessness to the scene.
