Our string of three weeks of perfect weather ended here in Phuket on the very last day of our final shoot. The sporadic rain showers and cloudy skies that we endured eventually proved providential. Photography on Phang Nga Bay is essentially landscape photography, which requires the interplay of light, shadow, color, and texture to tell its story. This image, which I made by hanging over the stern of our boat, contrasts the color and texture of the cloud cover to the interplay of light and shadow on the water and wake of the boat. The flat light also abstracts the huge limestone cliffs that rise out of the bay. If it had been a sunny day, this photograph would have been a candidate for a post card. The “bad” weather helped me make this image into an abstraction that conveys the mysterious atmosphere and mood of this unique place.
