The Story Behind the Image
I hadn't come for this photograph, yet this landscape is the result of a long search for framing and symmetry in the dunes over the previous days. I had already imagined everything: the shapes, the shadows, the golden color of the dunes at sunset, and that's exactly what I achieved in my first photograph.
It was only after packing up all my equipment that I noticed the change in light, with the transition from "Golden Hour" to "Blue Hour." It's a completely different atmosphere. "Blue Hour" is the last moments before nightfall. Everything has frozen in an icy atmosphere, the golden light has disappeared, and only a few steps remain in the sand...
Nature reveals its cold beauty.
About Fine Art Editions
Offering you the best requires not only a demanding technical approach to shooting, but also to publishing. Our goal is to provide you with true "art photography," meeting the highest professional quality standards, using high-definition, large-format printing techniques from one of the best photo labs in the world, which I have selected.
The photo prints are genuine, high-quality laser prints on professional silver halide paper. The photograph is sealed under high-quality 2mm acrylic glass, which enhances color expression and depth. It naturally protects the photograph from UV radiation and ensures long-term color stability. A 3mm Dibond aluminum mounting ensures rigidity.
All prints are ready-to-hang and feature an aluminum frame on the back, allowing the artwork to be hung in front of the wall.
Within the limits of the limited edition, the works are available in several formats, typically between 1.2 and 2.4 m in length. For dimensions other than those offered, please contact us. We can also produce anti-reflective Diasec TruLife or Chromalux prints for very large, lightweight, and ultra-resistant formats.
Each work comes with a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity.

Presentation
Philip was born in a small town in south-east France, bathed in the light of Provence, and now lives in Aix-en-Provence. He has always been fascinated by the universe and colours, and has pursued his passions in two different directions in life. One was scientific, in search of the secrets of lightning and thunderstorms, which took him to the world's most heavily struck regions: Africa, Asia and the Americas, where he lived for several years in the American West. The other is artistic, as a nature photographer, where he combines his two sensibilities in a hyper-realistic photographic approach in search of authenticity, realism and impact.
Philip has realised from his many travels and encounters that, despite the diversity of cultures, there are universally shared impressions when when faced with the spectacle of our universe. These are fundamental feelings about the mysteries and forces of nature that he wants to revive. His images are often conceptualised long in advance, right up to the moment when the natural elements come together - the location, the moment, the light - to create ‘the right impression’, and rediscover the visual and mental impact felt when contemplating our Mother Earth and Universe wonders.
