American photographer Tommy Kwak grew up just outside of Chicago, and has since lived and worked in New York and New Jersey. His style of landscape photography celebrates a kind of ephemeral beauty, showcasing the rugged scenery of locations such as Iceland and the Faroe Islands. He uses intriguing techniques, adding colour gradients, reflections and flares through a variety of analogue, in-camera processes that add new layers to his photography. Tommy’s approach also transforms natural entities into more graphic forms, with wide-angle shots and blurs obscuring nature and pushing it into abstraction.
